It's a great flic about the Cuban music scene. Yeah, the Cuban tourist
scene is going to be bustling and take them out of the poverty that
needless US imposed sanctions produced. Hey, and maybe we can have some

I have been blown away by how much I DIDN'T know about how influential
their music culture was to modern music. The clave were the hard wood
