ABOUT KALI BOOM AND THE FILM

Kali Boom was born and raised in the Roughneck pirate town of Bluefields. When his brothers were kidnapped and forced to fight in the Sandinista-Contra war, he escaped, and took up working the boats for Columbian drug runners.

Today, in a region still reeling from the shock waves of disaster, and still working away from its torrid history, Kali Boom rises above the vices of depression and poverty. He emanates a musical rhythm and spirit that is rooted in--and revitalizes--the island's connections to Jamaica, and Africa. He is planting the much needed seeds of identity in Bluefields, as the island continues to find itself. We will be documenting the whole project from its foundation to its successful growth. This film will be the story of our and Kali Boom's attempt to set up Bluefield's first ever recording studio.....
