The music and dance in this documentary come from a corner of the African Diaspora with which few people are familiar: the Afro-Peruvians. One aim of the film is to acquaint the viewer with this lively and fascinating culture. In addition, the music is very attractive - upbeat and rhythmic. The dances are colorful. And the history of Afro-Peruvians, which is recounted in brief in the documentary, is highly reminiscent of that of African Americans.
Our star is Lalo Izquierdo: dancer, choreographer, percussionist, and folklorist of his Afro-Peruvian community. Through his explanations and his performance, to say nothing of the choreographies he taught, we discover a part of Latin America that differs significantly from that with which we usually are in contact with. The filming took place in both California and Peru. Izquierdo spent a year in California, teaching a Bay Area group (de Rompe y Raja) which had obtained a grant to bring him here. This made it easy for us to shoot the performance part (captured in the studios of Contra Costa Television, through the good offices of AC5 - the Arts & Culture Commission of Contra Costa County). Director Eve A. Ma also spent time in Peru, both in its capitol of Lima and in the coastal countryside to the north and the south where the Afro-Peruvian influence has been strongest.People in the United States have only recently begun to learn about people of African descent in Latin America, and this documentary provides a fascinating glimpse into one segment of this population. "A Zest for Life" has shown on individual PBS stations from Washington, D.C. through California, enlarging our understanding of these people and their wonderful art forms.
