Angélica ha pasado todo el verano en la República Dominicana con sus tías y primas, sus abuelos y con la cotorra de al lado. Pronto, tendrá que despedirse. El final del verano significa regresar a casa para volver a la escuela en la otra orilla. Antes de irse, su abuelo le da el regalo perfecto, algo con el poder de atraer multitudes y mover a la gente tan rápido como las alas de un picaflor: una güira. Angélica se enamora de esta lata sin fondo y peine de hojalata que mantiene el ritmo, aunque al principio nadie parece compartir su entusiasmo. &“¿Qué es ese sonido?&” dicen. &“¿Centavos dentro de una lata?&”. Pero un día soleado y caluroso en la tierra de Washington Heights, donde la mujer del frío-frío raspa hielo para una larga fila de clientes y los hombres de la esquina estrellan fichas de dominó en una improvisada mesa de cartón, Angélica les muestra a sus vecinos el poder de la güira. ¡Angélica y la güira explora con cariño y ternura la música y la comunidad, así como la sabiduría y guía de nuestros mayores y la alegría y libertad de bailar en la calle!
