Overview
In this fascinating Oscar-nominated documentary, American guitarist Ry Cooder brings with a group of legendary Cuban folk musicians (some in their 90s) to capture a Grammy-winning CD within their native city of Havana. The outcome is a spectacular set of concert footage from the band's gigs at Amsterdam and New York City's famed Carnegie Hall, with director Wim Wenders capturing not just the music -- but also the musicians' life stories.
