  • The Bronx Museum of the Arts 1040 Grand Concourse Bronx, NY (map)

Kicking off the 15th Annual Havana Film Festival New York, The Bronx Museum will host a screening of Los 100 sones de Cuba/The 100 Cuban Sones, followed by a special performance by Yunior Terry y Son de Altura. Music by DJ ASHO. 

 

Winner of a Latin Grammy, Los 100 sones de Cuba/The 100 Cuban Sones follows the popularity and dissemination of the son musical tradition throughout Cuba. Using interviews with academic experts and community members, the film traces the familial and regional roots of this song style around the country and beyond. How has such a region-specific style defied borders? As one musician states with pride and happiness: "It's very authentic, and therefore it has been internationalized." Directed by Edesio Alejandro and Rubén Consuegra.
