Plot

Fatimah and Duma come from two completely different worlds. Near the Colombian Caribbean coast, the two young people fall in love while dancing Champeta together in the streets of Barrio de la Bahía. Not far away also lives Elías, an enigmatic elderly man who knows about the mysterious power emanating from the rhythm of the local champetas. Chosen by this ancient power of the earth, Fatimah and Duma receive supernatural powers which they awaken when their feet touch the ground to the rhythm of the champeta. This power was given to the two to save the earth from a powerful and ruthless corporation that not only harms the environment, but also threatens the lives of all beings. Together with their friends and allies, Fatimah and Duma develop their skills and fight together for the preservation of Barrio de la Bahía and the whole of the earth.

Champeta, also known as terapia, is a musical genre and dance that originated in the Caribbean coast of Colombia in the early 1980s. It developed from an earlier style termed chalusonga, which originated in Palenque de San Basilio in the mid-1970s. Chalusonga was a combination of Colombian chalupa and Afro-Cuban percussive music popularized by Estrellas del Caribe. When their music reached Cartagena de Indias, it evolved into champeta, which became a movement and identity among Afro-Colombians. It shows influences from African colonial settlements and from contemporary African culture, particularly from the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
