Description

From Across the Street takes Pati, an American Dominican girl who visits her Grandmother in the Dominican Republic during the summertime, on a musical exploration into one of the most widespread Dominican folkloric musical traditions, “Los Palos.” Nurtured by her Mami (Mommy) and Abuelita (Granny), Pati learns about the instruments, rhythmic patterns, singing, and meaning embedded in the musical expression.

She learns about the people in the neighborhood and how they are a big part of the tradition, whose journey ends with an astounding communal musical experience in the Parque del Pueblo (the park of the town). At this celebration, the townspeople gather to play the instruments and patterns Pati heard on her way to the park. She overcomes her fears and finally joins in with her maracas. Pati is welcomed to the community and becomes one with the people in a big celebration of life and love!
