In the beginning, John Santos aspired to be a baseball player, but destiny dealt him another hand. Today Santos is a highly regarded percussionist, bandleader, producer, and educator, with seven Grammy Award nominations to his name, and countless awards for his musical accomplishments. He is also the subject of a new film documentary titled, \u201cSantos \u2013 Skin To Skin,\u201d produced by Ashley James and Kathryn Golden for Searchlight Films.     <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m flabbergasted and highly honored to think about anybody wanting to do a film about what I do,\u201d commented Santos in a recent interview. \u201cIt took over 10 years to make. The filmmakers Ashley James and Kathryn Golden have been coming to concerts, to our home, and when we went to Puerto Rico, they went to Puerto Rico with us. They\u2019ve documented a lot of the stuff that I\u2019ve done that\u2019s been close to me and I really appreciate it. They did a beautiful job.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSantos \u2013 Skin To Skin\u201d premiered in the Bay Area at the Mill Valley Film Festival recently with three showings in Mill Valley, Berkeley, and The Roxie Theater in San Francisco. It is also slated for presentation on Oct. 30 at the SFJAZZ Center, with a live performance by the John Santos Sextet and special guests, but don\u2019t rush to get tickets as the event is sold out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 75-minute film is a carefully curated series of segments that unfurls with footage from live musical performances, interviews, and archival photographs and graphics from the career of John Santos. A well-spoken personality, Santos narrates his own story as visuals of family photos weave his childhood in Bernal Heights and illuminate the faces of his Puerto Rican and Cape Verdean grandparents as well as his parents and the multicultural rainbow of friends like John Calloway, Anthony Blea, and his best buddy Raul Rekow. Heartwarming testaments to the film\u2019s overarching theme documenting the rise and survival of a keeper of the Afro-Caribbean flame.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The film is engaging throughout with skilled cinematography and sensitive editing that complement the storyline without clogging it. It was the noted ethnomusicologist, Roberta Singer, who suggested to James and Golden that they consider doing a documentary on John Santos. Fresh from producing the acclaimed documentary, \u201cBomba \u2013 Dancing The Drum,\u201d a portrait of the Cepeda Family, the first family of Bomba y Plena in Puerto Rico, they dove in with clear vision and enthusiasm in assembling the life of a humble but complex artist.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interview subjects like cultural activist and producer, Linda Lucero, outline the organic rise of Santos as a community educator with his groundbreaking, \u201cRoots Of Salsa\u201d class at La Raza Silkscreen Center\/La Raza Graphics. Musical luminaries like Eddie Palmieri, Orestes Vilato, Ernesto Oviedo, and Omar Sosa as well as scholars like the late Robert Farris Thompson, the noted art historian at Yale University, attest to Santos\u2019 highly attuned level of musicality, scholarship, passion for research, and talent as a communicator.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How director Kathryn Golden chose to articulate the love between John and his wife, Aida Salazar, the acclaimed children\u2019s author, and their children, Avelina and Jo\u00e3o, is a highlight. The grief of the loss of their first child, Amaly Celeste, is delicately presented and adds depth to the emotion of the film. Their journey to Puerto Rico, pronounces the deep spirituality the Santos family possesses as they sing to Yemaya, the goddess of the ocean and motherhood in the Yoruba pantheon, in remembrance of Amaly Celeste. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not neglected is Santos\u2019 passion for social and cultural activism. From the 2011 fight against NARAS \u2014 The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences \u2014 for dropping the Latin Jazz category to his fight against numerous international and local causes (many expressed by the stickers on his congas), the outspoken Santos articulates how he uses his music to make a positive change against colonialism and racial inequality.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Overall, \u201cSantos \u2013 Skin To Skin,\u201d is a film that you wish wouldn\u2019t end. It\u2019s a beautiful portrait of a transcendent artiste born and raised in the streets and schools of San Francisco. Santos \u2013 Skin To Skin is excellently summarized with state-of-the-art cinematography by two champions of documentary film and a soundtrack that\u2019s a discographic biography. As an educational tool, Santos\u2019 story needs to be seen and heard as an inspiring example of how art can influence life and bring positive change to a troubled planet.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe music has this role,\u201d says Santos as the film closes, \u201cof documenting our history in our own words and educating young people, kids, and people of all ages, as to who we are, what is our history, and the basics about life.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
