While general audiences might not come away with a greater knowledge of the facts of Cuban music, they'll be treated to an impressive and highly entertaining celebration of its sounds.

I smiled all the way through this, despite it being a Spanish language film that I was watching with French subtitles. I don't think I missed out on anything though, and the music spoke for itself, as you would expect. A beautifully simple documentary.
