After "Barroco", Mexican director Paul Leduc continued his trilogy of films on music and no dialogues as common denominators, with this film produced by Venezuela, Spain, Cuba and UK. "Latino Bar" is by far the best, a new version of one of the first Latin American sound films, Santa, based on a novel by Mexican writer Federico Gamboa, that has been filmed many times before and after. Besides Ernesto Gómez Cruz as the blind pianist, the two other main characters –the prostitute Santa and Jarameño, an ex con– were played by Dolores Pedro and Roberto Sosa, who were reunited again in the next and last installment, "Dollar Mambo".
