Event Description : 'Habana Blues' Spanish film screening as part of “Music & Cinema” Film Series.

Synopsis : The two musicians, Ruy and Tito, (Yoel and Sanmartín) whose music is a mix of
traditional Cuban music and more modern music such as rap, get a chance at an international
breakthrough through a Spanish record company, but they would have to change their Cuba-
themed lyrics to cater to an international audience. Ruy considers this a betrayal of his country
and his art, whereas Tito recognizes the financial necessity of it. At the same time, Ruy is
dealing with the fact that his children and their mother Caridad (Sierra) are leaving for the
United States. Art versus commerce, nationalism versus globalism, and communism versus
capitalism are some of the themes of the film.
