Buena Vista Social Club. It's about the making of the album and the rich Cuban history is the backdrop. I bought it in 1997, and it's still such a great album. A nice encapsulation of a type of music that would have died quietly without Ry Cooder.

Love it, I’ll have to watch it. Speaking of movies with a Latin cultural backdrop, I saw a thriller called Bacurau (2019). It’s a little rough around the edges, but has memorable scenes. Some characterization of antagonists was a bit of a caricature, imo

Oh I'll definitely watch that. I want to watch this other one called Havana Motor Club as well.
