This documentary tells the story of the great Cuban musician Bebo Valdés, whose career as a pianist and bandleader helped cement Latin jazz as a worldwide phenomenon. Utilizing rare archival footage of Bebo himself from his only television interview in Sweden and interviews with his numerous descendants and close friends, director Ricardo Bacallao paints a portrait of a musical genius forced to flee his native country and the art he loved only to find a new beginning late in his life.
Introduction by film subject Emilio Valdés precedes the film.
