Arts & Culture

In recent years, Eaton Creative has developed a specialty producing high-end HD location performance specials that celebrate the music, dance and culture of a particular nation, region or ethnic group.

TANGO, THE SPIRIT OF ARGENTINA. 75-minute performance special about Argentinean tango.  First aired nationally on PBS in March, 2005 (Check local listings). Featuring Pilar Alvarez, Claudio Hoffman, Tango Metropolis Dance Company, Rubén Juárez, Maria Graña, Guillermo Fernandez & the Esquina Carlos Gardel Company.

MARIACHI, THE SPIRIT OF MEXICO. 75-minute performance special celebrating Mexican mariachi music, hosted by Plácido Domingo and featuring Mariachi Vargas, Los Camperos de Nati Cano & Mariachi América. Filmed in HD on location in Guadalajara and across the Mexican province of Jalisco. Produced by Eaton Creative for WLIW & PBS.

CLASSIC AMERICAN CARS OF CUBA. One-hour special that documents two days & a night in the life of the thousands of pre-1960 American cars that still throng the roads of Cuba, and the people whose passion keeps them on the road. To the music of classic 1950s car songs, this special celebrates the time warp of Cuba today – on a classic American car rally across the island, dancing in the 1950s style cabarets and looking inside a society where Detroit’s finest cars have now become Cuban heirlooms. Produced by Eaton Creative for WLIW & PBS.
