"Water Drums, an Ancestral Encounter" is a documentary that showcases the power of African roots in Venezuelan musical expressions. The story of Afro-Venezuelans is established in the film when the central character encounters "water drums," a unique and surprising musical expression from the Barlovento region. The aquatic chimes of the water drums will become the medium of our story, which will cross two continents, Africa and America, to unite them. Long distances become closer when roots are strong enough to stumble over time.
