78 Revoluciones

The documentary centers on Marcel Keoroglian, a notable figure in Uruguay's entertainment scene, who has discovered eighteen unheard records of the 1949 carnival. These recordings, made by José Goglian, showcase the vibrant murga music and feature local musicians from the Villa del Cerro neighborhood in Montevideo.

Throughout the film, Marcel's deep connection to the murga genre is highlighted as he writes lyrics for his carnival group. He passionately seeks to breathe life into the music of these historical albums that have remained silent for nearly seven decades.

78 Revoluciones captures not only the essence of carnival music but also the importance of preserving cultural history through sound. This documentary offers a rare perspective on the intersection of immigration, tradition, and artistic expression in Uruguay's carnival culture.
