"La Calaca" is a music documentary by award-winning filmmaker and composer Julián De La Chica. It follows Mexican mezzo-soprano Rosario Armas and Cuban pianist Ahmed Alom as they navigate themes of death, memory, and cultural identity through the song cycle "Canciones de la Muerte," commissioned for Armas and inspired by texts found in the Capela dos Ossos in Évora, Portugal. Set against the backdrop of New York City, the film captures a day in their lives, blending rehearsals, reflections, and performances. "La Calaca" highlights the resilience of the Latinx spirit and the profound influence of Latin American artists in shaping contemporary music.
