Sonia De Los Santos picks 4 movies to pair with ‘La Golondrina’
In Pairings, artists and creators pick the movies that complement their latest work.
Sonia De Los Santos is a Grammy-nominated musician and author whose latest children’s book La Golondrina is available now!
We asked Sonia to pick a few movies that pair well with La Golondrina.
Coco
Coco is one of my favorite movies. Its themes of family, belonging, and cultural roots feel like a natural match for La Golondrina. Both are an invitation for families to reflect on where we come from and how we carry our stories across generations, transcending time and space.
Moana
In Moana, a young girl feels a powerful call to a journey filled with adventure and uncertainty. Her deep connection to her grandmother, and her desire to follow in the footsteps of her ancestors, echo the journeys we find in La Golondrina.
Paddington
Just like Paddington arrives in a new country and learns what it means to belong, La Golondrina reflects on the experience of migration and finding a sense of home while carrying memories and traditions from where we come from, without forgetting the loved ones who stayed behind.
Migration
Migration follows a family of birds traveling across the world, echoing the symbolism at the heart of La Golondrina. Both stories highlight the beauty, adventure, and courage involved in journeys that connect different places and cultures, and how communities, or flocks, play an important role in building new homes.
