Bluechacha (documentary, Cuba, 2012, 35min.) by Ernesto Daranas
This visually rich and imaginative production takes us behind the scenes of “Bluechacha,” the last album recorded by guitarist, composer, and director Manuel Galbán (1931–2011), who also founded the quartet Los Zafiros. Produced in collaboration with Galbán’s daughter, composer Magda Rosa Galbán, and her husband, musician Juan Antonio Leyva, the film shows the three of them at work on the album, interspersed with dramatic sequences that tell a love story related to the music.
Reception to honor Ernesto Daranas will be held from 5:30 to 6:45pm on Sunday April 29t immediately after the screening.
