BEBO

Special Features: Introduction by film subject Emilio Valdés on June 11

This documentary tells the story of the great Cuban musician Bebo Valdés, whose career as a pianist and bandleader helped cement Latin jazz as a worldwide phenomenon. Utilizing rare archival footage of Bebo himself from his only television interview in Sweden and interviews with his numerous descendants and close friends, director Ricardo Bacallao paints a portrait of a musical genius forced to flee his native country and the art he loved only to find a new beginning late in his life. Interspersed throughout are bouncy renditions of his songs that will leave audiences bopping in their seats. DIR/PROD Ricardo Bacallao. Germany, 2023, color, 93 min.
