Ibrahim Ferrer
sat in red and yellow and sang: It's on fire, it's on fire...

It's because Ibrahim watched Wenders' "The Floating Record of Lux".
Half a century ago, there was a Buena Vista Social Club in Cuba.
It was lost by Cuba, and that's okay.

when the club is performing in Carnegie Hall and it's alright
because they don't hold the hands of their own countrymen.

    20131229jtl This is a musical essay by Wim Wenders. The music is the protagonist and the soundtrack. It really shows the style of Havana, Cuba. The streets there, the people there, and the musicians who were once forgotten are the same as the soul of Havana. Cuban music has beautiful tunes and sad lyrics, recited from the mouth of an old man with a face full of ravines, and the flavor is excellent. Music knows no borders, and music never gets old. 4.5

    Some songs are very familiar. The concert is very infectious, a group of people who are born for music, so bright and happy! 2019.05.19@Archive. Happy Havana, the Mecca of music, life is full of color and rhythm (laughs).
