- Synopsis
- The Beat Diaspora is a documentary series that portrays the diaspora from the perspective of peripheral electronic music and presents music as a powerful platform for social transformation; a tool that gives young people a sense of belonging and makes dreams come true.
  
  With its first season divided into six episodes, the project delves into different electronic scenes - São Paulo (funk paulista), Recife (brega funk), San Juan (reggaeton), Kingston (dancehall), Salvador (Bahia electronica) and Lagos (afrobeats ) - and investigates not only its origins, development and unfolding, but mainly its geographical and cultural surroundings, its strong connection with the local community, its relations with ancestry and its constant influence on the pop music industry.
