DVD
(Kultur D4073),
Released 2005;
Editor's Pick:
Actually two separate performances: One by Juan De Marcos and the Afro-Cuban All Stars and another by Compay Segundo.
NTSC format.
Here's detail from the DVD liners...
Compay Segundo: For Compay Segundo, guitarist and singer of Cuba's sensuous and rhythmic Son music, who died in 2003 at the age of 95, the description 'unique artist' is fully justified, as his sublime performance on Ry Cooder's 1997 Grammy Award-winning Buena Vista Social Club testifies. This concert, filmed at the legendary Olympia in Paris, features an all-star line up of fellow Buena Vista contributors such as Omara Portuondo and Benito Suarez.
The Afro-Cuban All-Stars at the Salon of Dreams: Havana, Cuba, during the 1940s and 1950s, was one of the most vibrant, thriving and cosmopolitan cities in the Americas and the dance music capital of the world. Following the Cuban Revolution, and subsequent US embargo, the country and its musicians survived in isolation until 1996 when the young Cuban bandleader Juan De Marcos Gonzalez gathered together some of the greatest Cuban musicians of the last fifty years, to create the Afro-Cuban All-Stars. The 'golden age' of Cuban music came out of retirement, to huge international acclaim.
The documentary, shot entirely on location in Havana, includes many band members' fascinating insights into this revival, and features performance footage of an All-Stars' concert at the city's Salon of Dreams. Contributors include: Juan De Marcos, Ibrahim Ferrer, Ruben Gonzalez and Pio Leyva.
NTSC format.
In Color. Running Time: 106 Minutes. (BP, 2006-08-28)
