I learned about the fun of Cuba from this song: the author was a 90-year-old man at the beginning of the band's establishment, started smoking cigars at the age of 5, and was about to have a sixth child; The gods offered rum and sprayed perfume; the old man who played the piano had his skeleton-like hands flowing on the keys, and the children who practiced gymnastics danced naturally to his rhythm; the only female member walked on the road and sang her famous song, passers-by all the way....

Cuban National Treasure Old Musician's Journey Across Political Barriers

The film begins with American guitar master, musician Le Cood and drummer son Joachim Coud riding a motorcycle through the old town of Havana, the capital of Cuba, in 1998. There are long queues in front of state-run bakeries, rambling residents playing cards on the side of the road, and old buildings lined with neoclassical to baroque architectural art styles that have faded from bright colors. Havana, one of the most prosperous cities in Latin America in the early and mid-20th century,...

"Le Man Xia Wan Na"

#FilmCritic# "Leman Xiawanna" - 1999, Best Documentary at the European Film Festival, nominated for an Oscar. A solid music documentary. The recording objects are the old musicians of a Cuban band. These Cuban musicians are getting older, but they all have amazing musical vitality. The documentary recorded their narration of their experiences, rehearsed and recorded the album together, and finally broke through the barriers and went to perform in New York, the United States, where they had...

This revolution is eternal.

Finally, they came to New York and strolled the streets, "This is my first time in New York", "I was 30 years old last time, and now I am 80 years old", "I really hope my wife and children can come here too". The string of beauty these Cuban musicians say reminds me of the Burns documentary in which a Vietnam veteran said he was glad that their children could now go to the United States to learn those beautiful things.

The Cuban flag was raised in Carnegie Hall. Staring at Kennedy's...

Gracias, BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB.

Wenders' classic record of Cuban music "Buena Vista Social Club, Havana" Follow the old musicians to explore this place "free from revolution and poetry" and its music, which is slightly mottled and shabby but precipitation of life. Tenacity and passion for singing and dancing. The old musicians talked about their rough life stories and their origins with music one by one. They were neither long-winded nor pretentious, but sincere and touching.

When Omara sang Silencio again, she...

It was a wonderful viewing experience. It's like wandering the streets of Cuba and taking an in-depth tour with authentic music in your ears. At the same time, I have to think of another similar movie "My Heart Is Not Old", which is also about the relationship between the elderly and music. Lux showed the charm of music more. . "My Heart Is Not Old" always has a sense of integration between life and music, which shows the power of music...

Cuban music is so contagious~ so good~! ! The documentary story is a little slower. This documentary was filmed by Wenders, the famous director of "Paris, Texas" and "Under the Berlin Sky", and it originated from a trip to Cuba by his musical partner Lederku. Ledku discovered the touching story behind a local band during his travels. Under his persuasion, Wen Wenders led the photography team to Cuba in 1988 and started the...
