MÚSICA DE SIEMPRE shows Mexico from its most cosmopolitan side - in a crazy mixture of meta film backstage comedy, variety show and experimental film light. Miguel Aceves Mejía sings José Alfredo Jiménez' ranchero ballad evergreen "A Los Quince o Veinte Tragos" with a small glass of pulque in his hand, while fado axiom Amália Rodrigues performs "Lisboa Não Sejas Francesa" in a more elegiac style than usual, while Peru's world music trailblazer Yma Sumac warbles through a stylised studio jungle with almost atonal bird sounds, while (a gift of history) Italo film music composer legend Riz Ortolani makes his only cinema appearance here as a bandleader, while ... A cornucopia of musical bliss and an unrivalled feast for the eyes!
