Netflix has done a fantastic job of boosting international film festival darlings, even if they get buried underneath the sea of content that the streaming giant churns out every day. Netflix's latest festival acquisition is the Mexican teen drama I'm No Longer Here, from writer/director Fernando Fras de la Parra, who recently came off the success of the first season of HBO's Los Espookys. Watch the I'm No Longer Here trailer below.

The script for I'm No Longer Here made a splash in 2013 when it won the Bengala award in 2013, later getting published as a short story. In 2014 that script was chosen for the Sundance Screenwriters Lab, and soon, it won the Gabriel Figueroa Development Grant at Los Cabos Film Festival. Frias' final film would premiere at the Cine Festival in 2019 and make the festival rounds at the Mar del Plata, Tallinn Black Nights, Puerto Escondido un Oaxaca, and Gteborg Film Festivals.

"In the mountains of Monterrey, Mexico, a small street gang named 'Los Terkos' spend their days listening to slowed down cumbia music and attending dance parties, showing off their outfits, hairstyles and gang alliances. Ulises Samperio, the leader of Los Terkos, tries to protect his friends from the nefarious elements of a quickly evolving drug/political war, but after a misunderstanding with a local cartel, he is forced to leave for Jackson Heights, Queens, a diverse immigrant community in New York City. Ulises tries to assimilate, but when he learns that his gang and the whole Kolombia culture is under threat, he questions his place in America and longs to return home."

First, the music: the cumbia slows down, as if the player ran out of batteries. Second, the lifestyle: a way of dressing, cutting their hair, reinventing their names, under the influence of the Chicano cholos of Los Angeles and a romantic idea of tropical Colombia. Third, where they belong: the suburbs and slums of Monterrey, the largest city in northern Mexico.

Fernando Fras de la Parra: Ya no estoy aqu started in my head as many different projects, but little by little they just became one. The beginning was the music. I had a CD my friend Emilio had brought to me from Monterrey around 2005, a bootleg CD filled with cumbia songs. I loved them. There was something very special that just caught my attention.

Cumbia comes from the time of slavery in Colombia. It started with the way that people who were enslaved danced these little steps because their feet were tied together. In Mexico, starting from the 1960s and 70s ever since, there have been block parties celebrating this tropical rhythm that comes from the south, from Colombia.

For me, Ya no estoy aqu really represents the lack of social mobility, but it also comes as a response to how I saw certain narratives coming out of Mexico and Latin America in general. I felt that there was a glorification of violence, or that we were contributing to this morbid way of looking at things. It is very important to me to consider the people whom we are talking about. The film shows the reality not by showing the shocking violence and the tragic events, but instead by showing the impact they have on the characters.

A popular cumbia orchestra who have recorded more than 20 albums since their first incarnation in 1960, La Sonora Dinamita have gone through many lineup changes over their nearly 50-year history, but one constant remains: they put out truly wonderful cumbia music! This hypnotic number dates back to the 1980s and can be heard in S01E05.

A Colombian salsa band, Los Nemus del Pacifico are particularly known for their interpretations of the son montuno genre (a sub-genre of son cubano). Their secret weapon was the strong and distinctive vocal tone of Alexis Murillo, their lead singer, and they released many records on Discos Fuentes. The track Lindas Y Bellas features in the opening episode of the new season of Narcos.

Cholombianos had risen to wide recognition in large measure because of their hairstyles and fashion, however they became more popular thanks to a 2011 Vice article. Vice documented their lives, describing them as a mix between Los Angeles- and Chicago-based cholos and a romantic idea of Latino cumbia dancers from Colombia. A 2015 photography exhibition by British fashion designer and photographer, Amanda Watkins, later presented their fashion in living colour. Watkins, who lived in Monterrey in 2007, documented the real life of this subculture and exhibited her photos at Rich Mix in London.

Frias has a powerful, specific cultural lens too, through which to tell this tale: the youth-driven Cholombiano sub-culture of Monterrey that flourished at the turn of the 2010s, a home-brewed blend of purposefully slowed-down cumbias (the already low-gear, mixed-cultures Colombian export beloved across Latin America), expressive sartorial cues from the boldly patterned and baggy cholo aesthetic, and severely shaped hairstyles emphasizing the shaved, the gelled, the tufted, the highlighted and the sharply banged.

Once Frias begins threading in flashbacks to only a few months prior, when Ulises is running with his compact, proud, outsider-friendly Los Terkos crew and a party is in full swing or a get-together in an abandoned building segues into lyrics, beats and glorious steps, we see him in his element. The cumbia rebajada is his joys-and-sorrows heartbeat, his sinuous, twirling dances a disarming mating call for like-minded souls.

In 2011, 17-year-old Ulises leads a gang called Los Terkos dedicated to the Kolombia or Cholombiano subculture. This lifestyle consists of dancing and listening to cumbia rebajada, a slowed-down version of Colombian cumbia. Los Terkos dress in bright, baggy clothes and sport homemade, eccentric hairdos.

Inventive retro-style film that follows three restless young people cruising the streets of Mexico City during the 1999 student strikes in a search for their childhood idol, an enigmatic folk singer. Whimsical, with striking cinematography.

Hilarious Mexican box-office smash by the director of Infierno about political corruption and media collusion with the government. The themes of this satire are universal, however. A long film but not a dull moment.

In this edgy dark comedy, two paranoid men join forces to rescue their families from a tropical paradise, after becoming convinced that an American timeshare conglomerate has a sinister plan to take their loved ones away.

"Techno Cumbia" is a song recorded by American singer Selena for her fourth studio album, Amor Prohibido (1994). It was posthumously released as the b-side track to "Dreaming of You" through EMI Latin on August 14, 1995. Techno Cumbia would be put on her fifth and final studio album Dreaming of You (1995) and would be the fourth single for Dreaming Of You. "Techno Cumbia" was written by Pete Astudillo and co-written and produced by Selena's brother-producer A.B. Quintanilla. The song is a dance-pop and tecnocumbia recording with influences of dancehall, rap, Latin dance, and club music. Lyrically, Selena calls on people to dance her new style the "techno cumbia" and calls out those who cannot dance.

"Techno Cumbia" garnered acclaim from music critics, who believed it to be one of the better recordings found on Amor Prohibido. Musicologists believed "Techno Cumbia" predated the Latin urban music market and found that Selena spearheaded a new style of music. The song posthumously peaked at number four on the United States Billboard Hot Latin Songs and Regional Mexican Airplay charts. The recording received the Tejano Music Award for Tejano Crossover Song of the Year in 1995 and received nominations for Single of the Year at the Broadcast Music Inc.'s pop awards and Music Video of the Year at the 1996 Tejano Music Awards.

"Techno Cumbia" is a Spanish-language uptempo techno-pop cumbia song. It draws influences from Latin dance, dancehall, rap, and club music. Musicologists Ilan Stavans and Harold Augenbraum called it a hip-hop fusion song. Billboard magazine Latin music correspondent, John Lannert wrote the liner notes of Dreaming of You and called "Techno Cumbia" a "dancehall thumper". Musicologist James Perone found the recording to be the "richest track" off of Amor Prohibido because of its "rhythmic and textural contrast". Perone compared it to the '90s American dance music scene and commented on how the "techno aspect of the piece is muted; however, Selena's voice is electronically processed for part of the recording." "Techno Cumbia" incorporates "rhythmic shifts from accentuation on off-beats to accentuation on the beat". The "hey, ho" is a reference to American soul singer Ray Charles' call and response 1950s single "What'd I Say", used under a "Latin-style drumbeat".
