Synopsis:

Daniel Medina, a Wixárika musician, embarks on a unique collaboration with American composer Philip Glass. In his community, Daniel seeks the approval of the council of elders as this is the first time that his traditional music is played accompanied by a piano. “A Place Called Music” is an immersive journey that follows the creative exploration of two musicians who do not speak the same language and yet are able to create a common place where their spirits can understand each other.
