>As an aside- have you seen the Buena Vista Social Club? That's one great movie about Cuba. I've seen several other good Cuban movies- but I liked the Buena Vista Social Club so much that I bought it.

I got to see the same musicians play live in Ann Arbor six months ago. They sounded even better live than the CD and the movie! Second best concert I have ever attended.

Since I fell in love with Cuban music I could not miss the movie. I think it gave a pretty fair picture of what life in Cuba is all about (even though at times Wenders tried to be too judgemental).

What pisses me off these ass*ole exiles in Miami is that for decades now they have blocked Cuban musicians for coming to play their music freely in the US. They even bombed the places they were scheduled to play several times...I feel very privileged for seeing these musicians play live, it was an unforgettable experience. Music unites people.

FYI, I hated American Pshycho and I really liked Detterence which frightenend me.
