- Synopsis
- Gustavo García, known as El Pantera established himself at a very young age as a trombonist and composer, performing with great salsa artists. In the 80s he moved away from the music industry, but continued to create from the shadows, facing the lack of money despite the fact that copies of the album he recorded in his early days, for which he never received a single cent, are now sold as expensive collector’s items. Pantera is not interested in fame, or at least that’s what he says however he wants to continue playing concerts and to record a new album. Paula his manager and current wife wants to make him realize that to achieve this goal, he will have to adapt to current conditions and abandon his pride. At his sixty-something years, with his vigor and rebellious spirit intact, Pantera is still facing a difficult reality, but he is willing not to disappear because he is convinced that the most important moment of his life is the present and that his only reality will always be music.
