Review: Yea, this IS the deal! If you dig latin jazz and latin culture, this movie is fir you. This is easily the best music movie I have EVER seen. I am a professional jazz musician in KC and I know what I am talking about. There is even a traditional rumba groove which I dug! Buy this movie and pay this dude so he will do another one!

Summary: Calle 54
Review: You will have to watch this film for yourself if you like Afro-Cuban music. From the beginning when Paquito D'Rivera and his saxophone plays, his tribute to the 3 Americas with Panamericana to the sensuality and Brasilian beauty of Eliane Elias, the mix of jazz and caribean music of a true perfectionist in Michel Camilo. The whole documentary displays Fernando Trueba's passion for the music of a region that was first discovered by an Italian supported by the kings of Spain. Fernando is crazy about this music and it shows in the film. This is a captivating film about music, not just cuban or dominican, but latinamerican. I hope Fernando finds the way and the means to continue making films like this one.
