    a lovely film which documents some giants of latin jazz who might have remained relatively unknown outside their home country of cuba. many of them have passed on now but will live on thanks to wim wenders and ry cooder, who was fined by u.s. government for his work on this project!

    an honest down to earth look at a select few cuban musicians who play all sorts of different instruments. background stories of the latinos lives accompany the music. it ends with a big finale concert in new york. especially enjoyable if ya like the genre

    It's affecting. And I like the focus on the music - though that raises a lot of questions about the lives of the musicians that we never really see. It's excellent - easy to dismiss as kind of a "supergroup" kind of thing or a white man's view of Latinness - I don't think the film is either of these things, though some of the interest might have been.

    I saw this a few years ago in Spanish class. The movie itself has not really stuck with me, but my friend burned me the soundtrack and I still listen to it to this day.

    Thus, this movie's mission, in at least one way, was accomplished.

    this is a movie you'd want to serve at a good party with a nice 42' hd lcd and some friends, wine, and instruments. It cleanses the palate

    So wicked. Company Segundo makes old people look so cool. IO want to be that cool one day and it's nice to know I have another forty years to try. He's so cool. Ry Cooder basically goes to Cuba and reunites all these amazing singers and musicians and takes them to NY. It's a great film. The musics better. My parents bought the album when I showed them the film.
