A powerful tale of Music that Transforms History and Heals
"The story of the Cuban music resurgence and history are revealed and powerful in and of itself. However, the musicians love of community, struggle for freedom, self expression and survival in addition to pure talent are deeply portrayed and are relevant to any time in history revealing the importance of democracy. The sheer power of music and dance are a tribute to Cuban culture. Very Uplifting!

Samuel S from Los angeles on Oct 12, 2025
It worked for me
"Some reviewers think the story line is simple. Some might be put off by the English spoken narrative and the songs in Spanish. I urge you to stick with it. And enjoy the intentional humour as well as the sound and musicianship of the cast. (It must be even more enjoyable if you're fluent in both languages.) If you are not aware of the history, it helps in understanding the story line to do some basic research on the background/key events of Cuba's national story in the 50's and 60's before you go: Just to appreciate the painful, personal, politically-charged choices people were forced to make for themselves and others around them at the time. The narrative may be partially fictional, as acknowledged in the opening monologue. But it is good to remember that sometimes fundamentalist politics of any sort is a wheel that blindly crushes and penalises individuals for their choices over decades. That the show is ultimately a triumph of the human spirit is a blessing for all of us. Enjoy."
