The diversity of music on this Caribbean island is unparalleled in the world, nourished by the confrontation of the most diverse influences from Africa, Europe, North and South America. Even the streets are full of sounds: hypnotic rhythms of the clave and conga drums, songs addressed to the orishas, the humanized deities, popular carnival street songs. The island lives music.
The documentary "La Clave - The Secret of Cuban Music" brings together some of Cuba's most important contemporary musicians to capture the richness of its musical history, such as Bobby Carcassés, Alain Pérez, the drummer Yissy García and the saxophonist and pianist César López.

Together with music historian Dr. Olavo Alén, they reflect on the genres and backgrounds of their compositions, from their African origins to rumba and bolero, son and salsa to Latin jazz.
Filmed by a Cuban film crew, "La Clave - The Secret of Cuban Music" is a passionate documentary about the multi-layered and fascinating musical soul of a country in upheaval.
