maya deren - at land



This is an excerpt from Maya Derens short movie At Land (made in 1944). As you can hear it's obviously not the original music - the movie is a silent movie. I don't really know anything about the music more than that it's performed by a band called Ombanda and that the song is called Deja Esta Ilusión. But it's a beautiful movie anyway. You can find more of Maya Derens movies at YouTube.
