Soy Andina translates to 'I am Andean'.
This is centennial year since Machu Picchu's discovery. In honour of this year, National Geographic has a bunch of events on Peru and Machu Picchu. We went for this movie, Soy Andina. The movie tells the story of two Peruvian Americans, Cynthia Paniagua and Nelida Silva . The movie shows their link to Peru through dance.
After the movie, Cynthia performed live - she culminated different Peruvian dances in her piece, Despierta Peru. It was excellent! And after they had a question and answer session with Cynthia, Mitch Teplitsky (producer/director) and Nelida (who was phoned in from Peru)
Funny Incident: During the Q&A session, Mitch and Cynthia were talking into their "own" fixed mikes on the podium. Midway through the Q&A session one of the organizers hands Mitch a cordless mike and tells him, "You have been talking into the light." HAHAHAHAHA! He was QUITE embarassed!!!!
