Our take

The colors of Cuba are something out of this world. That’s what made Fernando Trueba team up with designer Mariscal to tell the story of its music scene through animation. A melancholic and visually ravishing homage to the profound magic of the island, and one of its masters, pianist Bebo Valdés.
