maraca
Maraca shows an energy that lifts the usually languid music into the stratosphere. Led by flautist Orlando "Maraca" Valle, the ensemble of incredible musicians is mixing everything.
cuban hip hop
Maybe you thought Cuban music was just Mambo and Compay Segundo ? Try Cuban hip hop and you might have a big surprise.

 
Guantanamera (DVD)
guantanameraThis is the story of the hilarious journey of a body, making his way through bumpy cuban roads, and overly-centralized red tape bureaucraty. It shows that cuban movie enjoys a certain freedom : black market, clandestine restaurant and permanent shortage of everything is openly suggested. In my opinion, the funiest movie ever shot in Cuba.
