"Some of the best music ever created in Cuba... captured with embracing humanity." — Peter Stack, San Francisco Chronicle

In this seminal music documentary from German legend Wim Wenders (Paris, Texas), producer and guitarist Ry Cooder goes behind the U.S. embargo of Cuba to record and perform with a lineup of legendary musicians. Comprised of interviews, concert footage from Amsterdam and New York, and studio sessions, the film is a testament to the power of cultural interchange, breathing new life into traditional Cuban music.
