Netflix six-part documentary series
Break It All (
Rompan Todo) has revived all the music that was, as a Colombian born in the 80s, the soundtrack of my adolescence. With footage of a time when the now infamous MTV showed music videos, I’m thrown back to the day in 1995 when I first saw Café Tacvba’s

White Album for the rock en español movement” by The New York Times.
Break it All explores the birth and evolution of rock in Latin America from the hit “La Bamba” by Mexican American Ritchie Valens in 1959 all the way to the noughties. In each episode a diverse range of musicians are featured as interviewees or through archive footage to share anecdotes that construct the narrative of this series.
