Música Cubana

Just a normal day in Havana. Bárbaro, one of the city’s typical taxi drivers, picks up the Maestro Pío Leiva (85), a star of the Buena Vista Social Club, who is late for a radio show. Bárbaro and Pío become friends and decide to put together a band with some of the best and most acclaimed young musicians living in Cuba today. All under the direction of the Maestro, of course.

The film tells the story of the formation of the band. It accompanies the musicians through their rehearsals and recordings of a number of Cuban classics, as well as through their search for new songs and their own style as a band. And it all ends in a huge concert in Tokyo, where their band “The Sons of Cuba” is finally born.

"Música Cubana" is a film about the young generation of Cuban musicians today. But it is also a journey into this very special and passionate country. A journey into its music and into the hearts of its people, equally full of passion, love and hope.
