Sinopse
Alfredo Gutierrez is one of the greatest accordion players of all times. His amazing career started at the age of 4 playing in buses from one village to another in the Caribbean Colombia until his international triumph with “Los Corraleros de Majagual” in the sixties. From this time, accordion has been his very best way of personal expression and, also, the expression of an old tradition of minstrels and storytellers. Music in all genres has been played by this "prodigy kid", as people used to call him when he started playing, from vallenato to polka and ranchera, his fingers cannot avoid surprising audiences all around the world. The documentary is a musical travel to deep Colombia and it’s tragic modern history.
