SYNOPSIS

The sound of El Raval is a musical documentary that attempts to show the new reality that lives in the Raval district of Barcelona and the possibility of an integration, still distant, through music. Through the collective creation Raval All Stars, a group of musicians, almost all immigrants from the first or second generation, from around the world, witnessing to merge their talents and their dreams to try to explain their neighborhood freestyle. Cohabitation often very difficult, between their respective understandings of music and life, results in a complex film, mixing stories of hope and uncertainty ... Stories that shape the reality of a slum where the sound of his people and his music are a call for liberation and hope.
