CHICHA USA
The Sound That Crossed Borders CHICHA USA follows the extraordinary journey of Chicha music from the working-class neighborhoods of Lima to the vibrant Latino communities of the United States.
Through the story of legendary guitarist José Luis Carballo, the film explores how a uniquely Peruvian musical movement—born from the fusion of Andean melodies, Amazonian rhythms, cumbia, rock, and blues—crossed borders and became a powerful symbol of cultural identity and resilience.
Blending intimate interviews, live performances, and archival footage, the documentary celebrates the immigrant experience and the enduring power of music to preserve heritage, unite communities, and inspire new generations.
