Special Jury Mention at the Docúpolis Festival in

Latin Beat records the gradual penetration and influence of the Latin society and culture in the USA.

This two-episode documentary series focussed on New York, melting pot of different cultures and foretaste of North American society to come. Over fifty people belonging to different sectors of the Latin and Anglo-Saxon worlds such as music, cinema, painting, gastronomy, photography, the media, theatre, dance, politics, religion and fashion analyze what is known as the "Latin boom", ignoring stereotyped considerations of the phenomenon.

Outstanding among the participants are Rubén Blades, Peter Seeguer, Philip Glass, David Byrne, Boby Sanabria, Compay Segundo andJohn Quiñones.
