This is a pure music documentary, which is about a group of Cuban national treasure musicians and their stories when they recorded the album Buena Vista Social Club. If you haven't listened to Cuban music, it's hard to imagine what a group of attractive old men this is. When I saw the end of the film, the performance at Carnegie Hall was over, the subtitles showed that these outstanding musicians had passed away one after another, and there was a lot of sadness in my heart. Cuban music can be said to be a wonderful combination of elegant Europe and wild Africa. The melodious son makes people feel like they are in the old and elegant Europe of the 1930s and 1940s, and the traditional casino (that is, Cuban salsa) music brings people back to the passionate modern. Only through the subtitles can I find that the noisy, exciting and exciting music may sing the most trivial things in the lives of Cubans. Ry Cooder, known as the pioneer of rock music, once said: "In Cuba, music flows like a river." He also said that music is like digging for treasures. You have to dig and dig to find treasures. Because after a long time, there is something very earthy in the Cuban music they have unearthed, similar to folk songs that are closer to the original sound. Sometimes it is sad, but it is not the sadness of jazz alone, but a little melodramatic, with a simple melody. Tossing and turning again. Music is preserved like fossils in Cuba. There is this description in the copywriting of Buena Vista SocialClub on Xiami: "Even if you are a person who knows nothing about Cuban music, you will hear the music that seems to flow naturally in "Buena Vista Social Club". Fall in love with this land. Most of the orchestration of Cuban music is very simple, such as the most basic sand hammers and acoustic guitars, the sand hammers set the rhythm, and the guitar produces melody. Piano performances are often influenced by the style of jazz, while brass instruments are relatively frivolous. Elements. The combination of melody and rhythm of Cuban music is very good. It is regarded by music fans as the "Mecca of Percussion". The music also has a rare sense of softness, and at the same time has the duality of subtle tranquility and strong power. Character." At the beginning of the documentary, Chan Chan's music sounded, and people got goose bumps. In the days before I fell in love with Cuban salsa, this song has already lived in my heart first. Even if I don’t know what he sang, that tune often lingers in my heart For the first time in my life, I watched a pure music documentary so smoothly. All the music that I heard familiar when dancing appeared one by one, and the names that only appeared in the column of lyrics/music/singer also came into the lens alive. . Across the screen, listen to these old people telling about Cuba’s past and their respective life experiences, on the streets of Havana where the sea is hitting the shore, in the colorful rivers of classic cars, and in the dilapidated home of Ibrahim Ferrer, those very contagious. Cuban music has become more and more meaningful, and it sounds more life-like. I have seen the photos and wonderful travel notes taken by my friends around Salsa to Cuba (I especially recommend the series of Days on the Cloud published by Miss Libby’s official account "Libby on the Road"), and marveled at the brilliance of Cuba’s legacy The United States did not expect that the U.S. blockade and sanctions would bring such a material scarcity to this country. The home of the old man Ibrahim Ferrer, who sold 1.5 million copies of his first solo album, fell like a family living in China's subsistence allowances. Singing doesn’t make money. They sell cigarettes, pick up trash, and polish shoes in order to support their families. They are still singing and dancing in this poverty, and music is their happy nature. Ruben Gonzalez, who hasn’t touched the piano for 10 years, still catches people’s ears. The legendary musician Compay Segundo, who wrote about Chan Chan, said in the movie that flowers, women and love are the most beautiful things in life, and his survivability is all blended in. In the music. It is said that when he died, the coffin was covered with a Cuban flag, and the entire people of Havana sang "Chan Chan" to see him off. In Cuba, in Che Guevara, in Hemingway, in addition to mojito, there are also these lively and lively music, which is intoxicating and fascinating. Thanks to the recording technology, we can still hear such wonderful music after the death of these legendary musicians. Maybe this movie and this chan chan will take you to know this distant Cuba again.
