About Me

Cuba is a place where magic is a part of daily life. Lazaro Rosengberg-Acosta (joshua bee alafia) and Zoe Green (Natasha Yanacannedo) are two Americans in Habana. Lazaro spends his mornings studying Afro-Cuban music and his afternoons exploring the magic of Kongolese mysticism and Yoruba Lukumi (Santeria). He falls for his Godfather's granddaughter, Maria (Wendy Reyes) and breaks his promise to be faithful to his fiancee and the Orisha Oshun. After a political solidarity tour, Zoe has stayed on to learn more about Cuban culture and falls in love with Renato (Jorge B. Sardinas) a Reggae singer who dreams of an international Reggae career. Cubamor is a story of love and mysticism, hustlers and sages, a mix of magical realism and cinema verite. With a bumping orgiginal soundtrack of Cuban Folklorico, Hip-Hop, Boleros, Salsa and Reggae. 2001 131min Rated R
