Pueblo Santo selected at New LATAM Voices

Pueblo Santo, a Cumbia Trip was one of the 10 LATAM projects we have selected to join the « New LATAM Voices » program, organized as part of the international panorama on Latin American creation of the 5th NewImages Festival, in partnership with Garage Stories.

This program aims to bring together Latam emerging talent with creators from all over the world to tell their stories and move their projects forward.

During the 4 weeks of the incubator our project grew thanks to the talent and energy of the team members brought by the New Latam Voices call.

We worked on the pitch, the visual storytelling and a 3D mockup of Pueblo Santo’s main square.

Synopsis — Immerse into the mythical village of the Colombian Caribbean coast where Cumbia was born. In Pueblo Santo, the indigenous Amacumbié cosmogony intertwines with a depiction of Colombia’s history of colonialism and violence, challenging the interactor to understand this past, overcome evil and restore the balance by playing and dancing Cumbia’s original melody. Pueblo Santo is a VR musical trip that takes the interactor to a mythological town on the Colombian Caribbean coast. The experience is based on the story of Pueblo Santo, a typical Colombian Caribbean town that suffered a massacre.
