heh, funny story about that : i first discovered Ibrahim Ferrer (never saw him in concert though, alas !! i would have loved to) when i got his cd at the library, just because i liked his photo on it. i loved it so much that i started looking for every old cuban musician i could find, and discovered Ruben Gonzales and a lot of others that way. when i was in the middle of this period where i listened exlusively to old cuban music i wrote a letter to a friend of mine, she was in New York at the time, telling her how amazing these musicians were. She wrote me back saying that she would let me go hunting out all the obscure cds, she was content to just listen to Buena Vista Social Club. I wrote her back : "what's that ?"
when i found out about that film (Wim Wenders is one of my favorite filmmakers, by the way) it was almost too much joy. the first time i saw it (in fact, every time i see it), at the end i had tears in my eyes from so much beauty.
so, yes, i saw the movie...

I also do a good impression of a flamenco singer by the way. But that's something else.
