“Buena Vista Social Club” (1999)

Musician Ry Cooder seeks the living legends of Cuban music through the run-down, pulsing streets of Havana. Enter a world of music, motorcycles with sidecars, kids on skates, fabulous faces, dilapidated buildings and a woman with a cigar the size of a baseball bat.

Refreshments: a nice, plump, cholesterol-laden Cuban sandwich.
