Heritage

View on the Pragda STREAM site

Havana is still alive. Its people are in the streets, the squares, the churches, the parks, the ballrooms, the schools. And it still conveys a legacy made of old laughter, African rhythms, and strong dyes. Music becomes the channel to transgress, to transcend, to reach different aspects of society and daily life.

A story of emotions where images talk for themselves and traditional time rules are bent, Heritage is a showcase of modern Cuban culture and the centuries of history that precede it.

The documentary exposes the miscegenation and transculturation present in Cuba. These two words sum it all up. Stories of lives, characters who while living their “Cubanness” carry at the same time a rich, ancient cultural heritage that comes from afar.
