Jaime Roos

In this joyous documentary about the passion of soccer, the iconic Uruguayan musician Jaime Roos and his son reunite to embark on a journey to the South African World Cup with the Uruguayan national soccer team.

Through the memories and confessions of some of the most important names in Uruguayan music, the film brings back to life the stories of the songs that defined a country and that, in some cases, helped change history.

At ten o'clock on the night of 20 November 1993, in the Barrio Sur neighbourhood of Montevideo, Jaime Roos began the first of 42 concerts on a tour that lasted three months and included performances in all 19 departments of the country. In total some 300,000 saw him play. This documentary captures the essence of that unique tour and it is a crucial contribution to our understanding of Jaime Roos and his position in Uruguayan music towards the end of the 20th century.

Recorded live in November 2009 in Montevideo and Buenos Aires. This DVD captures the essence of a night when Jaime Roos, along with his band Contraseña, invited several of the most prominent names in Uruguayan rock to perform a concert that fused their styles over a repertoire based on Roos's songs. As a bonus, it includes a brilliant performance by Roos at Luna Park in Buenos Aires, just a week later, on November 14, 2009.
