L'Escale

Overview

"L'Escale", a small Latin American cabaret on rue Monsieur Le Prince in Paris, welcomed people of all nationalities in a festive and committed atmosphere during the 1960s. They shared their dreams and their music there for entire nights. While he was writing his second book, Gabriel García Márquez even played maracas there… In Antoine Sextier's documentary, the last witnesses of this era look back on this golden age of Latin American music in France. A golden age that allowed them to fulfill their Bolivarian dream: to unite Latin America through music.
