Cumbia Ninja
Created by Andrés Gelós
A surreal, genre-blending Latin American drama that mixes street-level crime resistance with magical realism and martial arts, grounded in community bonds and idealism.
In a major slum called La Colina, young idealist Hache and his friends will confront the drug dealers who control the neighborhood. They will succeed with the help of music, an old Chinese ninja master and a mythical character who also lives in La Colina. Simultaneously, Juana will find shelter there as she runs away from her family's assassins.
