Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Released during Venezuela's oil boom collapse, this captures the exact moment the 'Saudi Venezuela' fantasy died — before Chávez, before everything.

Trivia

Group Madera in 'El Afinque de Marín' would become foundational to Venezuelan salsa; this is essentially their origin story caught on film.
