The next ConservativeLA Radio show (on Duane FM in the Hughniverse, Friday night, 08/15/14, 7:00 Pacific/10:00 Eastern) will concern itself with Cuban music–specifically (and exclusively), the soundtrack from The Lost City.
JazzTimes.com provides a good overview:
It is clear from the opening scene in Andy García’s film The Lost City that Cuban music is the protagonist. García’s passion for Cuban music and his devotion as a producer and advocate are also clear.
The Cuban-born actor-director began as a collector of classic recordings, then worked as an apprentice musician and producer for one of Cuba’s living legends, Israel “Cachao” López.
The bassist-composer was the subject of García’s 1993 documentary film Cachao: Como Su Ritmo No Hay Dos. The film score for City draws on Cuba’s most extraordinary musical treasures.
In addition to the material listed below, a ‘couple-few sound clips pertaining to the film will be included in the show.
Hope you can stop by, listen to the show, and join us in chat!
