Liberación: The Songs of the New Cuban Underground

This is a story about music you were never meant to hear - for years I had wondered what has happened to the sons and daughters of the great Cuban musicians and singers. Then in 2002, I was approached by an Australian musician who asked if I was interested in new Cuban music.. he told me to go over the world map that hangs in my office and have a look at Cuba. Down the bottom, you will see a little town, Santiago de Cuba That's where it happens.

Directed by Reuben Field, Liberación: The Songs of the New Cuban Underground leans on a strong ensemble — Los Compadres, Reynier Casamayor Griñán, Christopher Mark Murphy — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2007.
