The film revises the ancestral encounter of three continents in the epic story of an enigmatic musical instrument that travelled with enslaved people from Africa to America more than 400 years ago. The marimba and the balafon are magical instruments connected in their past, which are present in the black and mestizo sounds of popular music, folk music and jazz. The film travels across three continents, featuring iconic performers of these instruments, as well as film and photographic archives that reveal the deep musical connection between Senegal, Mexico, Germany, Ecuador, the United States and Colombia.
