Synopsis
El afinque de Marín (1979) is an iconic Venezuelan documentary directed by Jacobo Penzo that explores the life, culture, and popular music of the Caracas neighborhood of Marín. Far from being merely a film about music, it delves into the social roots and collective identity of the barrio, using rhythm and everyday life as a lens to reveal the bonds, struggles, and shared histories of its inhabitants. Through its intimate portrayal of people, sounds, and spaces, the film becomes a vivid testament to popular culture as a living expression of community and belonging.
