    Sedona AZ (March 26, 2018) – Chamber Music Sedona and the Sedona International Film Festival will join hands Wednesday, April 4 for a 4 pm encore screening of the Academy Award-nominated “Buena Vista Social Club”.

    This wonderful film was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature in 1999 and is making a return by popular demand in celebration of the Spring Music Festival presented by Chamber Music Sedona.

    “Buena Vista Social Club” is a celebration of the power of music and the human spirit!

    Aging Cuban musicians whose talents had been virtually forgotten following Castro’s takeover of Cuba, are brought out of retirement by Ry Cooder, who travelled to Havana in order to bring the musicians together, resulting in triumphant performances of extraordinary music, and resurrecting the musicians’ careers.

    This award-winning documentary, by lauded German filmmaker Wim Wenders, follows renowned guitarist Ry Cooder and his son, Joachim, as they travel to Cuba and assemble a group of the country’s finest musicians to record an album. Among the artists included in the project are singer Ibrahim Ferrer and pianist Rubén González, who are both interviewed and featured in studio footage. Eventually the ensemble travels to the United States to perform in front of rapt audiences.

    “Buena Vista Social Club” features footage from sold out concerts on the tour: April 1998 in Amsterdam (two nights) and the July 1998 in the United States (at the Carnegie Hall, New York City). Although they are geographically close, travel between Cuba and the United States is restricted due to the political tension between the two countries, so many of the artists were travelling there for the first time. The film shows their reactions to this experience, as well as including footage of the resultant sell-out concert. It also includes interviews with each of the main performers.

    Relive the magic of this extraordinary music and the triumphant, magical concerts in this every special encore screening.

    “Buena Vista Social Club” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre Wednesday, April 4 at 4 p.m. Tickets are $12, or $9 for Film Festival or Chamber Music Sedona members. For tickets and more information, please call 928-282-1177. Both the theatre and film festival office are located at 2030 W. Hwy. 89A, in West Sedona.

    A Bad Moon Rising

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
