Plot

A governor appears in a remote tropical town in Colombia and prohibits all forms of artistic expression such as dancing and singing. This is how Makondo was born, a work created by the Gypsy Kumbia Orchestra that brings together musicians and artists from all over the world. Manuk, a five-year-old boy, tells the story of the adventures of this picturesque group and their journey through towns and villages in Colombia plagued by armed conflict.

Reception

Rodrigo Torrijos of Rolling Stone Colombia gave it a score of three and a half stars out of a possible five, stating that Fait Vivir "uses the poetry that inhabits reality and makes it dance with its doses of fantasy, looks beyond the limits of the documentary genre and creates a journey full of positivism in which it is easy to get lost".[6]
