Aroview: A handful of sprightly elderly Cuban musicians assembled in 1996 by guitarist Ry Cooder produced, with their soulful, melodic jazz sound, the biggest selling World-Music album ever.
Documenting the making of their second album, dir. Wim Wenders interviewed the various members, most of them past retirement age (with one energetic guitarist in his 90s!), about finding success at last, and providing a window into the dilapidated yet romantic world of contemporary Cuba.
