It was in 1997 that many Americans were first introduced to the Buena Vista Social Club, the Cuban band that won hearts through a wildly popular album and a follow-up documentary.
Twenty years later, filmmakers are revisiting the group on their 2015 farewell tour. Many of its original members have since passed, which leads Philadelphia Inquirer reviewer Dan DeLuca to say:
" 'Adios' is at its best when excavating the past. Many of the original movie's stars have died, including Segundo, Gonzalez and Ferrer. The singer Ferrer, who died in 2005, has an especially winning presence in the update, in interviews of recent vintage and unearthed black-and-white footage as a tuxedoed crooner on Cuban TV."
The documentary will be screening at theaters throughout Tucson.
