‘Melbourne Salsa’ Documentary
20 minutes
Jorge Aguilar was an integral part of introducing the sound of Salsa to Melbourne during a time when Melbourne was bleak. His music changed the Melbourne soundscape forever, and also gave Jorge the life he had always dreamed about. Jorge left Peru in 1986 with his family to provide them a safer place to live. His journey changed his life and the many lives of the people in Australia who had never heard the rhythm and sound of Salsa. Jorge never dreamt that he would keep doing the one thing that connected him to his soul….play music.
