Movie Reviews of Bridge to Havana
Movie Review: Hands across the water
Summary: 5 Stars
As a Cuban American, I was thrilled to discover this used CD/DVD collection at Pooh Bah Records in Pasadena, Ca. I'd never heard of it but judging from the caliber of the artists, I bought it without even having listened to it.
What an exciting project, taking U.S. and British artists to Havana and randomly pairing them with Cuban artists. Their assignment: write a song, record and perform it in a matter of six days. What a heady experience! I would love to be part of such an exciting undertaking.
Music is the universal language and the love and connectedness these wonderful musicians projected is very clear. No matter how many times I listen, it's a thrill. 5 STARS!!!!!
Summary of Bridge to Havana
Some surprising cross-cultural collaborations are the main attraction of Bridge to Havana, which documents the 1999 journey by dozens of American and British musicians to Cuba, where they wrote, recorded, and performed songs with their island counterparts. While political rapprochement between the American and Cuban governments may still be a fantasy, there were no certainly no problems among the musicians; indeed, the process of creating new partnerships by literally drawing names out of a hat created some unexpectedly fruitful results. If, for example, putting Jimmy Buffett, Fleetwood Mac's Mick Fleetwood, the Chieftains' Paddy Moloney, Cuba's Augusto Enriquez, and various others in the studio and onstage together (for the song "One World") seems farfetched, for the most part it works. The performances on this hour-long disc come both from the studio (Gladys Knight with various Cubans, Peter Frampton with Alberto Tosca) and from the concert that concluded the trip (Joan Osborne, who did such great work in Standing in the Shadows of Motown, is excellent again here). Given the brief amount of time the musicians had to get acquainted and write material together, the songs they came up with can be a bit on the obvious side, but there's no denying the spirit at work throughout this interesting, entertaining program. --Sam GrahamMusic Video & Concerts DVD Video
