The Mali-Cuba Connection / Africa Mia (2020)
AVAILABLE TO STREAM AT HOME!
In the midst of the Cold War, ten young promising musicians from Mali are sent to Cuba to study music and strengthen cultural links between the two socialist countries. Combining Malian and Afro-Cuban influences, they develop a revolutionary new sound and become the iconic ensemble ‘Las Maravillas de Mali’.
On New Year’s Eve 2000, French music producer Richard Minier meets a former member of Las Maravillas de Mali in Bamako and decides to bring the band back together.
Vibrant, touching, colorful, this film is a magnificent celebration of life and music (Le Figaro).
