Film Description:
BIBI TUREYGUA, in the Arawak language of the indigenous of the Hispaniola Island means “Infinite heavenly mother, Mother of God”, and is the inspiration and main composition for the lyrics writen in Arawak dedicated to The Virgin Mary of Altagracia.
The soprano Nathalie Peña-Comas becomes a representation of the past at the shore of the mythological river SANATE where pilgrims since the 1600 leave their burdens from the road, worries, and prepare for their arrival at the Sanctuary. Nathalie Peña-Comas leaves her heart in each intonation.
