Cuba
Dirty Blonde and Half-Cuban
Lisa Wixon
Dirty Blonde and Half-Cuban is a gritty portrait of one woman's determination to infiltrate modern Cuba and find the father she has never known. While on her search, privileged American Alysia Briggs ends up broke and alone in Havana. She's then forced to adopt the life of the jineteras-educated Cuban women who supplement a desperate income by accommodating sex tourists.
The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love
Oscar Hijuelos
It's 1949. Two young Cuban musicians make their way up from Havana to the grand stage of New York. It is the era of the mambo, and Castillo brothers, workers by day, become by night stars of the dance halls, where their orchestra plays the lush, sensuous, pulsing music that earns them the title of Mambo Kings.
