Africa Mia, la fabuleuse histoire des Maravillas de Mali
1964. At the height of the cold war, the Cuban government invited ten musicians from Mali to come and study music. In a fabulous mix of sonorities, they created the first-ever Afro-Cuban group: the Maravillas de Mali. Fifty years later, an equally crazy project emerged: to re-form that legendary group!
