It was just released last week and we're proud that it is currently the sixth most-watched movie On Demand in the US (Apple, Amazon, etc)!

Here's a fascinating tidbit about Cuban jazz: it's a musical tapestry woven from the vibrant threads of African, Spanish, and North American influences. This blend creates a one-of-a-kind sound that mirrors the island's diverse cultural heritage. 🇨🇺🎷✨

The African rhythms and percussion, influenced by the country's rich Afro-Cuban heritage, infuse a deep sense of groove into the jazz melodies. Meanwhile, the Spanish melodies and harmonies add a layer of passionate and emotional depth. And from the North American shores, jazz brought its own innovative spirit, making Cuban jazz a genre known for its improvisation and spontaneous creativity. This harmonious fusion makes Cuban jazz not just a musical genre but a cultural statement that speaks to the heart and soul of the island. 🎶
