"Weekend In Havana" enjoys successful broadcast premiere on PBS television.
The Public Broadcasting Service recently presented an in depth and substantive documentary about the nation of Cuba. As you know, Cuba is located in the Caribbean region; a few miles south of Florida, USA.
The documentary is a short viewing hour in length. The content focuses on various social characteristics of the Cuban culture: its varied and energetic history, its devotion to religious values, its love of architecture, music, and dance. The passion of its citizens for overall community well being is clearly visible in the documentary; due to the outstanding quality of expertise interjected by film recording technicians.
The "Weekend In Havana" documentary also spoke of Cuba's long lasting love affair with many of Hollywood's film stars, along with the popular appreciation of exquisitely styled classic American automobiles. It is interesting to note that author Ernest Hemingway considered Cuba to be the relaxing home environment which allowed him to create and complete some of his best literary works; while putting in some rewarding fishing time.
Yalil Guerra, a GRAMMY winning Composer and Musician, created and produced the music for the documentary entitled "Weekend In Havana". Although the CD version of the work stands independently in a fine light, its supportive and complementary role in the film documentary version is laudable. Yalil, a socially conscious world citizen, has been known to suggest that "Music Producers, creators, (and) artists have a "social responsibility" with the content we develop...If we want a more cultured world, less violent, and a more attractive future for our children, let us begin by teaching the arts at home...". His sentiments and work in the film documentary "Weekend In Havana" are both sound and commendable.
