ABOUT THE FILM

Director / Executive Producer Josue Joseph pulls together the present-day international Salsa icons of dance in this highly-endorsed internationally-anticipated feature film Part II "La Epoca - The Lost Rhythms in Salsa" which includes Eddie Torres, Frankie Martinez, Griselle Ponce, Jimmy Anton, Delille Thomas, Victor Karisma, Amanda Estilo, Arelis Beato, Anya Katsevman, Andy "Lyrik" Cruz, Julissa Cruz, Mario B, and others.

"The Lost Rhythms in Salsa" is the theme of this magnificent, world-class presentation of in-depth studies on the differences between the 2/3 Clave versus the 3/2 Clave, Afro-Cuban musicality, and the manner in which to distinguish seven rhythms under the term "Salsa" which include the Mambo rhythm and the Son-Montuno rhythm, the Guajira, Danzon, Guaguanco, Montuno, and Son rhythms. This one-of-its-kind presentation also identifies which of the rhythms fall under which clave pattern (2/3 or 3/2), and it also identifies the traditional formats in how each rhythm was designed and written to be danced whether Salsa On1, Salsa On2, or the old-school formats of Palladium On2 or In-Clave.

The "La Epoca - The Lost Rhythms in Salsa" soundtrack features traditional Afro-Cuban rhythms mentioned above featuring several Palladium-era artists recorded specifically for this soundtrack.

The film and its soundtrack premiere in Los Angeles on August 7, in Washington DC on September 17, and in New York September/October, and in London in October, with more screenings to be announced. Production team also reunites siblings Co-Producer / Vocalist Raquel Fe, and Co-Producer Othoniel Joseph.
