There's a 48 min. 1995 production called Afrocubanismo which is
very good about origins of AfroCuban music. Features los
Munequitos de Matanzas and Chucho Valdez. Produced in Canada,
distributed by Filmwest. E-mail is info@filmwest.com
or Tel. 250 769-3399.

You didn't say whether you were interested in features or documentaries.
A recent feature, Black Tears (Lastimas Negras) focuses on 1 group
from Santiago de Cuba.

Cheers,

Susan
