5.0 out of 5 stars Refreshing, culturally and Spiritually soothing, December 30, 2007

This review is from: CUBA MIA: Portrait of an All-Woman Orchestra (DVD)

For those who appreciate culture and classical music and yearn for a refreshing new performance, this DVD is worth owning, watching and sharing for years to come. Unfortunately, AMAZON's description of "actors" is wrong. Celia Cruz and others cited are not in the film. This award winning documentary/film is an enjoyable expression of a group of women who live in Cuba and play deligthfully well and cohesively. The Romeu Camarata provides us with an excellent example of the art of music and specifically, Cuban classical music. With very limited resources, the performers share their passion and devotion. I hope others will enjoy it as much as I have.

5.0 out of 5 stars CUBA Con Mucho Gusto!, January 4, 2006

This is a spectacular look at the resiliance, creativity and talent of the Cuban people. A country rich in culture is blessed with superior musical educational opportunity..... without class, color or gender bias. The director, the artists and the conductor give a realistic portrayal of Cuban life and the music skills combine to enrich the experience. A complete treat visually. One weeps with joy at the beauty of the group and the musical interpretations. Exceptional!

Incredible testament to will power. These women do play great Cuban classical music in a country where resources are hard to come by. After I saw this documentary, how passionate these women are about their music I felt like sending them sets of strings (spare) for their violins, cellos and bass. The have so little and do so much with what they have. Good art will always survive.
