      Audience Member Painfully slow and sadly quite boring. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member It is just as it is in Cuba! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Watched the German version (in Spanish with German subtitles). Since I don't understand either language, most of the dialogue was lost on me but the music was not. A very interesting follow-up to the classic Buena Vista Social Club but not as good. Takes us through a journey in Havana with Pio Leyva (the maestro from Buena Vista) as he explores and puts together the new generation of Cuban stars. Some of the dialogue is forced but the theme appeals. Some great music including classics from Buena Vista such as Chan Chan. Worth a watch but manage the expectations! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member me encanta chevere de adeveras Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
