Uncle Yim
Encouraged by his daughter and with a voice tarnished by alcohol, Jaime Luna (Uncle Yim)—indigenous philosopher, social leader and singer songwriter—composes a new song about his tumultuous life after 15 years of silence. But this time he will do it with his family, so the memories and interpretations are contradictory and painful. “Uncle Yim” immerses us in the identity of a peculiar family shaped by tradition, music and communality.
Apoyado por su hija y con la voz rota por el alcohol, Tío Yim (cantautor, filósofo zapoteco, activista), compone una canción nueva canción sobre su tumultuosa vida después de 15 años de silencio. Pero esta vez la escribe con su familia y las visiones son contradictorias y dolorosas. “Tio Yim” es una inmersión en las entrañas de una familia marcada por la fiesta, la música y la comunalidad.
