Representando (Documentary Trailer)

A poetic journey into Latin American Hip-Hop. In the last decade the Hip Hop scene in Cuba has grown spectacularly, now there are over 500 bands in the Caribbean Island.
These groups are mainly formed by Afro Cubans from the capital Havana. The Cuban government initially censured rap music but with its growing importance felt obligated to approve it.
A lot of the lyrics describe the discrimination that the Afro Cuban community faces, the difficult economic situation, the police brutality, the 40 years U.S. embargo, and the history of the African Diaspora.
Cuban Hip hop has been of enormous importance for Cuba and the Latin America music scene. Its impact on other parts of the world will surly increase over the next few years...
A Documentary from Antonio Jose Guzman and Patricia Lesage
