Synopsis

The 1960s, Paris, rue Monsieur Le Prince, in the “l’Escale” cabaret, Latin Americans live and share their music throughout the night.
All instruments and nationalities come together in this cabaret in a festive and committed atmosphere.
The last witnesses of this time tell us an incredible story where the Bolivarian dream was fulfilled: «uniting Latin America through music»
It is a journey through memories, magnetic tapes, record covers, in which we discover this golden age of Latin American music in France.
In the heat and the wisps of smoke of the place, you will come across Atahualpa Yupanqui, Brigitte Bardot, Gabriel García Márquez and Violeta Parra.
Have a drink and sit down! The music will start soon
