\n\t\tNew Doc Celebrates the Life and Legacy of Eddie Palmieri\t<\/h2>\n

\n\tA new documentary feature film, Eddie Palmieri: Sweet Sweet Sugar<\/em>, directed by Emmy-nominated filmmaker Omar Acosta, is currently in production. The film focuses on the life and legacy of Grammy-winning pianist, composer, and bandleader Eddie Palmieri, who revolutionized salsa and Latin jazz and shaped the genre as we know it. Set against the backdrop of Spanish Harlem and the Bronx from the 1950s to the 1980s, the film explores how Palmieri used his music to amplify the voices of Puerto Ricans while shaping Latin music\u2019s global influence today.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cPuerto Ricans came to New York with rhythm, passion, and very little else. We didn\u2019t melt into the pot. We reshaped it.\u00a0Eddie Palmieri is the proof,\u201d said director\u00a0Acosta in a press release. \u201cBorn in the crucible of Spanish Harlem, his music captures the moment Puerto Rico collided with New York and invented something new, something permanent. Eddie\u00a0speaks for the Puerto Rican diaspora, a people whose fight for dignity and opportunity transformed not only themselves, but American culture and the world beyond it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tProduced by David Kennedy and Nick Quested of Goldcrest Films in co-production with Uprising Music NYC and in cooperation with the Eddie Palmieri estate, the film has full access to Palmieri\u2019s music catalog and never-before-seen archival footage. <\/p>\n
