The instrument is built, instructed and played in the jungle. The film looks at the myth of the duende, a mysterious being somewhere between an elf and a demon, who teaches locals how to assemble the marimba and play it. If you enjoy the music, all proceeds from the EP go to the musicians in Guapi (the ones in the video) where living conditions are "very rough" El Duende, by Monte & Dinastía Torres MUSICMONTE.BANDCAMP.COM 4 track album 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh, it was just the description I got in an email. The bandcamp page spells it out a bit more clearly: Quote Buying this record will directly support the Dinastía Torres family who live in Guapi, Colombia, a very isolated place in the Pacific coast of Colombia, full of sociopolitical conflicts due to drug trafficking , ilegal and legal gold mining and no government presence. Life is full of daily struggles and communities still maintain their strong culture where music is one of the highlights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
