everybody loves salsa

Everybody Loves Salsa is an animated short film that celebrates Latin American heritage, rhythm, culture, and connection through movement, colour, and music. From graphic designer and animator Daniel Cordero, the film combines mixed media and 2D and 3D animation with two original tracks composed exclusively for the project: a salsa piece and a song inspired by Colombian Pacific South traditional sounds. 

Everybody Loves Salsa began as a spark of inspiration in 2012, born from the energy of Cali’s vibrant salsa culture and the warmth of its people. Ten years in development and two years in production, Everybody Loves Salsa is the culmination of a decade-long journey of sound, motion, and creative passion, presented as a visual love letter to the world of salsa.
