The analytical discussions don't run very deep, but eyes will shine and toes will tap whenever this picture is shown.
01/15/04
The visuals had a beguiling amateur home video quality look.
01/09/04
Despite its clumsy, unenlightening interviews, this documentary does convey the infectious felt rhythms of Cuba.
01/14/04
Keys seems to understand that the global appeal of Cuban music is directly proportional to its multiculturality.
01/11/04
Feels more like a home movie than the work of a veteran documentary filmmaker, lecturer, and college professor.

Top CriticThe music is what really matters to him, and that's where Keys and the musicians he features really deliver.
01/16/04
With images similar to Buena Vista Social Club, but with far less historical resonance, Cuba is both a travelogue and a celebration.
04/09/04
An odd blend of passionate performance footage and maddeningly shallow analysis of Cuba's music and politics.
01/14/04
Conveys the irrepressible joy, resolve and conviction of the Cuban people despite the decades of economic deprivation and psychological intimidation of the U.S. embargo
01/15/04
Even with all that movin' and shakin' going on, the goings-on here can get pretty boring.
01/24/04
This musical documentary, which offers a musical mosaic of Afro-Cuban styles, could be described as a basic course: Afro-Cuban music 101.
01/15/04
Top CriticCuba: Island of Music is enjoyable as a primer in Afrocentric music and dance. As a political statement, however, it's pretty much of a dud.
