What happens?

Acclaimed as one of the very best motion pictures ever made about music, the vibrant CALLE 54 offers an incredible behind-the-scenes glimpse into the lives of Grammy Award-winner Tito Puente and some of the greatest Latin jazz artists of our time.

Whether it's created in hot backstreet clubs or recording studios from Miami to Havana, the Bronx to Andalusia, the pulsating sounds of Latin Jazz capture the heart and soul of an entire culture. Showcased in a series of extraordinary performances, Latin legends use their immense musical talents to weave an innovative tapestry of sound, style, and rhythm that becomes a passionate celebration of life.

From the director of the Academy Award®-winning BELLE EPOCH (Best Foreign Language Film, 1993) -- featured artists include the late "godfather of Latin music," Tito Puente, barefoot Brazilian pianist Eliane Elias, Argentinean tenor sax great Gato Barbieri, Paquito D'Rivera, and many more you don't want to miss.
