synopsis summary
FusionLab is a documentary road-trip that will follow the Chinese band Shanren in their search for traditional music in the Ecuadorian Andes, literally the “other side of the world”. The result will be a poetic collage of moments, portraits, landscapes, sounds and reflections that will talk about a common spirit shared by ethnic minorities in these two apparently distant places.
motivation
Indigenous groups in the band’s homeland and inspiration,
Yunnan province, and in the Ecuadorian. Andes show many coincidences in their
music, culture and ethnic features that very few know about. We believe that by
exploring these almost magical coincidences we can promote the values of ethnic
minorities that share the beauty of a communitarian lifestyle and a strong
sense of contact with nature.
