Glad this is off the main board as we can now talk sweet music. I feckin like it personally - click into the link and have a wee listen.
My friends have also encouraged me to catch the latest film -
The Buena Vista Social Club for ***** music. It captures the spirit of an amazing musical culture and the heart of the musicians and singers who express it."
- Cinematic Intelligence Agency
A dazzling display of the musical world of the Roma, juxtaposed to the real world they live in. This rich feature documentary celebrates the luscious music of top international ***** performers and interweaves stirring real life tales of their home life and social background. Shot by documentary icon Albert Maysles, the film takes place on location in Spain, Macedonia, Romania and India, as well as in Europe and in the USA during the ***** Caravan concert tour created by World Music Institute. Starring musicians from FANFARE CIOCARLIA, TARAF DE HAIDOUKS, MAHARAJA, ANTONIO EL PIPA & ESMA REDZEPOVA. Film directed and produced by Jasmine Dellal whose recent feature, AMERICAN *****, won international acclaim for its portrait of an American Romani family battling a decade of drama.
"Across the globe, ***** music rears its melodious head, from Romania to Spain to Macedonia to India... featuring fierce fans of the form (including Johnny Depp), the film is a gorgeous surround-sound celebration of misery and oppression turned into music."
