Monday Morning Movie : Voces Soy Andina
6:45 am By Maegan la Mamita Mala · Media| Movies| Peru| TV| dance
26 Oct 2009The more I think about the series Latino in America, the more comments I read here and on other sites, and the more I seek out real lives of Latinos and Latin Americans. Who needs cable when I found another documentary in the PBS Voces series, Soy Andina.
What really resonated with me about this film was how the young Peruana went to Peru and struggled with being confronted about her identity. Because she was born in the United States, she was viewed as gringa not as the Peruana she felt she was. This was done through exploring the folkloric dances of the “home of her heart”.

THIS is what was missing from the Latino in America documentary–the experience of those from South America in this country, those individuals trying to find their identity in two worlds that seem so contradictory. But in the end, for instance, I’ve found it–heck I’m still trying–for my own sanity to accept that I’m not one thing. I like pop, soul, electronica and musica criolla. I’m a citizen of the world!Lol =)

While I am not South American, the time I lived in South America really marked me and how I viewed myself.
