From Futuro media and PRX it's Latino

from From Futura Media and PRX, it's Latino USA. I'm Maria No Hosa. Today, the band Making Movies is a band based out of Kansas City Missouri that mixes rock with tropical Latin music like salsa. The group is based in Kansas City, but its their senior

comer de Tuerde.

The group is based in Kansas City,

but its members have roots in Panama and Mexico.

Their sophomore album, I Am Another You, features a fusion of

electric guitar, mambo rhythms, and operatic vocals. And the album reached the ears of iconic Panamanian musician Ruben Blades,

which is by the way the way he pronounces his name,

and this led to Ruben Blades giving them a shout out at the 2017 Latin Grammys.

They're making movies that have a

that have a machine as I'm a spinning out.

And they recently collaborated with Ruben Blades to put out a song called Note-Kayez.

We spoke with the band in 2019 and we're happy to bring them back to you today.

Listen as members Enrique Chi and Juan Carlos Chau-, talk about one of the band's most ambitious

tracks on their album, I'm Another You. The song is called

Locura Collectiva.

My name is Juan Carlos Chavaran, and I play percussion and keyboards for making movies.

My name is Enrique Chi and I am the guitar player and singer of the band and also the songwriter.

I was born in Santiago Panama- Panama and I fell in love with rock and roll music first.

I really rejected Latin music as a little kid because I wanted to play the guitar like my dad.

After like becoming an adult and realizing I'm an immigrant in the United States,

the longing to reconnect to the Latino roots became bigger and bigger every year.
