Summary: (from www.wikepedia.org)
  "Ignacio Carrillo (Marciano Martínez) is a
  vallenato  singer from Majagual, Sucre, who
  decides, after his wife's sudden death, to
  stop playing and return his accordion, which
  is said to be cursed, to his master. He is
  joined by Fermín Morales (Yull Núñez), a
  teenage boy who admires Ignacio and wishes
  to become a juglar  like him. Carrillo
  reluctantly accepts, given his loneliness.
  On Ash Wednesday 1968, Carrillo, Morales and
  their donkey start a journey throughout several
  towns in the Caribbean region in Northern
  Colombia, until Taroa (a small caserío in
  Uribia jurisdiction), in La Guajira desert,
  where Carrillo's maestro supposedly lives.
  During their journey, Carrillo participates
  in the first version of the Vallenato Legend
  Festival in Valledupar."

My Comments:
  
  Just got this dvd yesterday, so I have not yet seen
  the full movie. but I had a peek, and the cinematography
  is very good.

  Won some awards including "Award of the City of Rome" at
  the Cannes film festival.
