Music, history and emotion fuel this dynamic
tribute to Los Zarifos 'The Beatles of 1960's
Cuba'.
Against the backdrop of the Bay of Pigs invasion
and the Cuban Missile Crisis, two youths from
the tough district of Cayo Hueso decide to
form a vocal group.
To those whose lives they briefly touched,
Los Zafiros are legends. A musical phenomenon
moulded by their time and place, Los Zafiros
caused a sensation at home and beyond throughout
the 1960s.
Thirty years after the band's break-up, surviving
members, Manuel Galban and Miguel Cancio,
reunite in the streets of present-day Havana,
a place full of unforgettable songs and memories
for them and their intensely loyal fans. Family
members, fellow artists, and friends weigh
in to create a stirring and definitive portrait
of Los Zafiros.
Full of joy and sadness, this film serves
as a remarkable visual and musical history
of post-revolutionary Cuba.
