Director: Iván Acosta Rojas
Herencia: Los cantos de la tierra is a 2026 Colombian documentary about the musical traditions of the country's rural interior. Directed by Iván Acosta Rojas, the film travels through Boyacá, Cundinamarca, and Santander to explore the people, instruments, songs, and stories that keep campesino music and carranga alive.
The documentary connects music with everyday rural life, including work, family, faith, love, and people's relationship with the land. Interviews and performances reveal how these traditions preserve collective memory while also addressing the historical marginalization and discrimination experienced by farming communities.
Herencia: Los cantos de la tierra began with Colombian theatrical distribution and may later reach regional documentary platforms.
