Editor's Pick:
How often are we asked for a complete documentary overview of the history of Afro-Cuban music? A lot! Well, it was only a matter of time — a great idea that makes you wonder why it wasn't made sooner. This huge 3-DVD documentary about the history of Cuban music is the perfect primer for music enthusiasts, students and musicians. This vast work covers the breadth and impact of almost every Cuban musical style imaginable. From early Afro-religious and folkloric genres to the Habanera, Contradanza, El Punto Guajira, Danzón, Son, Guaracha, Rumba, Bolero, Latin Jazz and Cubop, Mambo, Cha Cha Chá, La Pachanga, Mozambique, Songó, Changüí, Nueva Trova, Miami Sound, Salsa, Timba and everything in between. The film-makers, Mario Fajardo and Lito Solanas, barely miss a beat. In typical documentary fashion, the span is chronologically paced, with cross references established throughout. Utilizing footage vintage from film and television, clips of performances and interviews are integrated, with some notable appearances made by Los Müñequitos de Matanzas, Celeste Mendoza, Ñico Saquito, Machito, Arturo Sandoval, Pérez Prado, Beny Moré, Enrique Jorrín, Pello El Afrokan, Los Van Van, Sivlio Rodriguez, Carlos Oliva, Willy Chirino, Hansel y Raul, Gloria Estefan, Celia Cruz, Adalberto Alvarez, Manolin, Charanga Habanera, Isaac Delgado, Paulito y su Elite, NG La Banda, Los Orishas and many others. There's a ton of information here, folks.
132 minutes. In both Spanish and English.
Herencia Músical Cubana is both essential and enjoyable, and is a must-have for your collection. Very Highly Recommended. (BP, 2007-01-02)
