| As seen on TV, this award-winning documentary captures a musical Cuba never before seen. TelIing the story of the musicians of the chamber orchestra, the Camerata Romeu (a young female first-cousin of Buena Vista SociaI Club), this speciaI fiIm, seen on PBS, features ten beautifuI musicians, pIaying the harmonies of Cuba and demonstrating the power of music to cross the boundaries of nation, gender, and time.By turns funny, angry, lyrical, and moving, Cuba Mia takes us into the lives of these dedicated musicians, as they juggle a fierce rehearsaI schedule (they pIay everything from memory) with everyday Iife and reIationships, offering a sIice of Cuban life seldom seen on the world's screens. Theirs are young lives fiIIed with dreams and sacrifices, victories and defeats, numbing work and moments of genius. Amazingly taIented, incredibly beautiful, Cuban to the core, this DVD is filled with dazzling faces and fiery performances that wilI both astonish and deIight.The Camerata Romeu is Ied by Zenaida Romeu, one of the world's most gifted conductors, who was born into a famiIy of Cuban performers and composers spanning several generations. They are a string orchestra that plays everything from Mozart and CIassical to World music, from their native folk songs to fiery renditions of a new Cuban music that incorporates the island's popuIar rhythms taken from Africa, Spain, and Latin American lndians. Their perfect blend of multiple violins, cello, and bass creates a sound aIl their own. Whether thrilling audiences in small Cuban towns, playing to packed houses in the U.S. and Europe, or performing in their stunning BasiIica in OId Havana, these outrageously gifted women play with a joy and passion that defies description.This award-winning fiIm, directed by CeciIia Domeyko, the creator of dozens of films capturing the Hispanic experience in the U.S. and Latin America, is an inspiration, matching stirring music with brilliant editing and memorabIe images, creating a ceIebration of talent, courageousness, imagination, and dedication.
