This is the second film by director Jen Paz whose first film "¡Popular!" followed the legendary band La Charanga Habanera. As indicated by the subtitle: "salsa vs reggaeton", "Animals" presents the situation in Havana after the reggaeton explosion that had been building in Cuba for years. The root of the polemic is the competition for fans and for the limited concert venues in Havana. The salsa artists that were on top in the 90s are now finding themselves with half-full concerts while young Cubans are packing the reggaeton concerts. Music fans will appreciate the long music segments by top artists in both genres: Timba - Los Van Van, El Tosco, La Charanga Habanera, Manolito y Su Trabuco, Pupy y Los Que Son Son, Bamboleo. Reggaeton - Gente de Zona, Clan 537, Insurrecto, El Micha and Yulién Oviedo MC Blad. No matter who the Animals may be in 5 or 10 years, we now have a snapshot of Havana as it was at this time.
