MACHETERO - synopsis
French journalist, Jean Dumont (played by Isaach de
Bankole of The Keeper, Ghost Dog, Coffee and
Cigarettes) comes to NY to interview Pedro Taino
(played by Not4Prophet of Ricanstruction) in an effort
to understand why Pedro has decided to use violence to
free both himself and his people from the yoke of US
imperialism.
As they speak, another ghetto youth (played by Kelvin
Fernandez, in his first starring role) trapped in an
unending cycle of violence, is growing up in the
streets to become the next MACHETERO.
The film features original songs by RICANSTRUCTION,
including an all new improvised score that runs from
hardcore, be-bop, puerto punk to haunting and surreal
afro-latin rhythms and percussions.
ALSO THIS SUNDAY
July 17
RICANSTRUCTION
will have a special performance at 2PM,
at Tompkins Square Park (7th to 10th streets between Aves A&B)
(This gathering/performance/ organizing event is in solidarity with
CHARAS-which was booted out of their LES home a couple years ago).
This show is FREE, just like the land is supposed to be....
