Hispanic Heritage: Chico and Rita

By: Gabriela Yareliz

In honor of Hispanic Heritage, I continue to post some cultural bits. On NPR, I listened to an interview, with Fernando Trueba, about Chico and Rita, a film about pre-revolution Cuba. It was absolutely inspiring, and the music sounds so exquisite and dreamy. The film is animated, and it has some of the most brilliant musical minds, talents and voices in it (Bebo Valdez). The film has an Oscar nomination.

A clip with Estrella Morentes, one of the most incredible, if not the most incredible recent flamenco singers.
