La Bamba!

La Bamba! tells the story of how the power of music can transform a generation and celebrate a community.

Synopsis

Sofia, a 17-year-old from Los Angeles, is deeply connected to music.

Ever since her father gave her a guitar, she has aspired to be a superstar.

Drawing inspiration from her musical idols and supported by her family, Sofia learns that every journey starts with one step.

As she blends the music of her heritage with the tunes in her heart, Sofia hopes to unite a community that feels increasingly fragmented.
