Poster: Un Lugar en el Caribe (2017)

Pere Soto is documented among the composers of this Honduras–USA feature. His own records state that five of his pieces — drawn from his gypsy-jazz work — formed a principal part of the soundtrack. Independent listings (IMDb, FilmAffinity, Instituto Cervantes) credit him as composer; Taller de Músics describes his music as the main score used for the film’s early HBO circulation.

Place in the archive

This page belongs with the United States chapter (HBO / U.S. circulation) and with the film/composition line of the 2010s — not with the concert dossiers of Mexico or BIRD.

Open questions still worth a cue sheet: the five titles, which albums they come from, and a primary HBO listing (schedule or press).
