The rise of communism tended to bring cultural and creative suppression in places like China and East Germany. But not in Cuba, where Castro’s regime invested in the arts to carve – and celebrate – the island’s unique identity.
As a result, we saw a cultural explosion of Cuban dance, music, fashion and more throughout the back half of the 20th century, all of which is on glorious display in “Buena Vista Social Club.” Presented entirely in Spanish, the Tony- and GRAMMY-award-winning musical follows four musicians who find their voice in the 60s – and eventually unite in the 90s.
