Don Walter & Tape Hunt in ARTE TV Report
Renowned European TV program ARTE screened a short documentary on the life of Walter Ferguson, his music and the lost cassettes.
Wimba! On Oct. 30th 2024 renowned European TV program ARTE screened a short documentary on the life of Walter Ferguson, his music and the lost cassettes. The 14 minutes are a well pitched and beautiful hommage to Cahuita town and its famous troubadour. Short interviews and meet ups with Peck, Luis and Doreen Ferguson and Manuel Monestel recount the unique story of Don Walter and his home recorded music that travelled around the world on cassettes and got repatriated to the carribean shore by the tape hunt project. In a short sequence we also get to see Roberto (protagonist of the song Roberto Tours) and even Bambi at a street corner - you immediately get a very authentic Cahuita feeling. Pura vida!
