Tomacorriente: Una historia del rock nacional

Overview

Tomacorriente, by Sergio Valdés Pedroni, is a history of urban rock in Guatemala; an audio and visual journey through five decades (1973–2023) of rebellion, influences, abuses, and artistic creation. The film begins as a tribute to Marco Antonio Luna, founder of the group Cuerpo y Alma, and becomes a polyphonic, independent feature film that revisits the clichés of national rock from the margins. It is a raw and honest tribute to the creative impulse of young people who found a way to express themselves through rock music.
