Psychedelic Panamanian band Making Movies is on a mission: to reconnect with the rebellious spirit in Latin folk music and harness its power for today. Their music represents the culture of the Americas in a way that delivers the chills of hearing something singularly special yet oddly familiar. The Latin Grammy-nominated band has collaborated with Rubén Blades, presented at major international festivals, and toured alongside Los Lobos, Ozomatli, Hurray For the Riff Raff, Las Cafeteras, Flor De Toloache, and many more. In 2024, Making Movies will release their first live concert film and album, En La Sala, recorded at the historic Folly Theater in Kansas City. The band is also currently producing AMERI’KANA TV, an NEA-funded documentary series showing an alternate history of American music, furthering their mission for the world.  Making Movies is band whose music focuses on the rhythms of Latin America—African-derived styles like rumba, mambo, merengue, and cumbia—combined with distorted guitars and atmospheric synths. They incorporate both English and Spanish lyrics into their songs, creating a unique and culturally diverse sound.
