Vivir la Chicha (2003)
Chicha music, a variation on cumbia music popular in the coastal cities of Peru, evokes the experiences of the many Peruvians who have migrated from the high Andes. This film tells the story of Aurora Ramos—a worker in a sneaker factory—and the role that chicha plays in her life. After the film, Dr. Tamara Walker, Assistant Professor of History, University of Pennsylvania, leads a discussion about class and music in Peruvian society. Sponsored by the Philadelphia Film Society, Penn Cinema Studies, the Penn Humanities Forum, Penn Latin American and Latino Studies, and the University Museum Library. Free with Museum admission.
