A History of Cuban Music

This 90-minute documentary about the history of Cuban music includes interviews with music historians as well as Cuban musicians, both young and old, who help keep the vibrant style alive today. Through the use of photographs, music, and commentary, Cubanissimo traces Cuban music from its roots in the small island nation to the widespread effect on mainstream music that it has had in the present day.
