REBELLION

• Jhon Narvaez
• Angie Cepeda

The film portrays a vulnerable, anonymous Joe Arroyo in his claustrophobic journey through different moments in his life. A musical genius, salsa singer and composer, Joe’s music and unique voice could not be contained on stage. The film follows the man into his most private depths to the beat of his lover’s soul, tormented by his great love: music. It is an atemporal exploration of his life, an adventure into the dark, solitary place where Joe’s talent was at its rawest and his emotions and impulses were free.

This biopic intends to find answers to the question: “Who was Joe Arroyo?” The Colombian musician was a genius of salsa and tropical music, but behind his fame and public image also hid a vulnerable and complex individual tormented by his inner ghosts, a drug addict, and a womanizer incapable of keeping at his side the woman he loved.
