Los Zafiros: Music from the Edge of Time

Lorenzo DeStefano

Before The Platters and The Drifters there were Los Zafiros, a band of singers that perfromed a heady mix of Cuban music and two of whom became part of the famous Buena Vista Social Club. An award winning documentary.

Reviews

A musical, historical and emotional odyssey spun around a blazingly popular Cuban vocal group of the ‘60s, “Los Zafiros — Music From the Edge of Time” is an appealing mix of artistry, nostalgia and unspoken political overtones. Crowd-pleasing docu with bigscreen potential compares favorably with “Standing in the Shadows of Motown".
Variety
Just a damn fine time, and one that might leave you yearning to explore a little more about an era of music that our political leaders closed us off from.
