Hip Hop Cubano is
a must-see independent film made by young American Eli Jacobs-Fantauzzi,
who takes us by the hand on a walk into the world of Cuban Hip
Hop.
Jacobs-Fantauzzi
has made a film with love and respect for the young Cubans featured
– artists who take their role as creators and political commentators
seriously, both within the community and as representatives
of their country on
the
world wide stage. This documentary follows their daily lives
of writing, performing and discussing Cuban music, specifically
Hip Hop, and then as they go to the States for the first time
to record an album and perform.
