Thursday, May 1st, I had the pleasure of walking the red carpet at the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival (runs April 23-May4).Dennis and I saw "90 Miles the Documentary" ("90 Millas El Documental"). It was a look at Gloria Estefan as she recorded her latest album, 90 Millas, an amazing tribute to the history of Latin (primarily Cuban) music.
The documentary featured the amazing talents of Latin musicians like Carlos Santana, Lopez Cachao, Chocolate Armenteros, Artura Sandoval, as well as Johnny Pacheco, Jose Feliciano, La India and Gloria Estefan, who all participated in a "talk-back" after the film. Like Emilio Estefan stated, "This is a once in a lifetime experience", and he couldn't have been more right. I mean how often do you sit before that many masters of music...ALL a huge part in the creation of 'Latin music', and have them discuss history and answer questions.
Pretty incredible and inspiring...
The only way you can truly understand how awesome the sound on the album is ....is to BUY it!!
