    • Synopsis
    • This documentary looks into some of the moments and events that, in time, would make the myth of Cafrune. We delve on his musical genius, his legacy, his role as a promoter of Argentine culture and his (sometimes rocky) relationships with folklore icons like Ariel Ramírez, Mercedes Sosa, José Larralde and Atahualpa Yupanqui. He was a gaucho who sang just like he lived and how he felt, and who asserted himself deep within Argentina, its history and the men who built it. Who was Jorge Cafrune?
