Among our goals for the documentary was to glimpse into the legacy of the knowledgeable ones and discover who will now carry the music of the Pacific to cultural stages. There was no one better to talk about this and introduce us to the young musicians and singers than Nany.

In our 4-day visit to Guapi, we did so much that the passage of time has blurred some specifics. Instead, what remain are fleeting flashes of vivid memories that spark a smile on my face, instances that make me cherish the life I live and the profession I’ve chosen, this quest for stories that have led me to realities often hidden from casual tourists.

Choosing a topic to talk about in this blog was difficult, it took hours to decide, I wanted to put everything on paper, until I remembered the objective of these lines, to tell you what is not seen, what seems insignificant to the eyes of others and For me it is what I will not forget about a visit. I erased everything I had written, closed my eyes, and decided to write about the first memory that came to me when I thought of that day, that memory smelled like oranges.

Guapi is a place that sounds, not only because of the native and traditional musicians that inhabit the town and are so representative of Pacific culture, but also because all the stores have music like discos and the places that sell drinks seem to be active 24 /7. It was something that to really understand I had to know firsthand.
