A Tuba to Cuba

If you liked the Foo Fighters "Sonic Highways" series on HBO a few years back, then you'll really enjoy "A Tuba To Cuba!" In the ways the Foo Fighters explored their sound and drew inspiration from their experiences in the cities they visited, A "Tuba to Cuba" is The Preservation Hall Jazz Band's version on steroids.

Beautifully shot in New Orleans and across Cuba, the film provides us a deeper understanding of how music really connects us all. It also gives you an appreciation for The Preservation Hall Jazz Band and their historical significance to the world of music.

The characters, sights, and sounds in "A Tuba to Cuba" make this documentary film and journey worth taking.

This film tells the beautiful story of the inter-connectedness of music, culture and humanity. Preservation Hall is a national treasure and today's Preservation Hall Jazz Band takes the best of the past and blends it with new flavor, making it all new again. Don't miss this film -- it's a feast for the eyes, ears and heart. Brilliant direction and cinematography. And I dare you to sit still while listening to that soundtrack!

This is a must check for anyone interested in culture, music and history. I had the opportunity to see it at the NOFF and was completely blown away. Growing up in New Orleans I was not aware of the similar roots in music that Nola had to Cuba. Once the music starts the language barrier disappears, that's one of the themes of this beautiful doc. Check it out if you have the chance. I give it 1000 stars!!

The emotions of joy, loss, passion and culture interwoven with the language of music was beautiful to see in the theater.

WHAT AN AMAZING FILM! I had the pleasure of watching A TUBA TO CUBA during its domestic premiere at South by Southwest (SXSW) Film Festival 2018. The energy in the packed Paramount Theater was electrifying and to say that this is a great documentary is an understatement. With all of the hatred and hasty political news that's been going on in our World today, A TUBA TO CUBA does a wonderful job putting the root of what humanity should be into perspective. This is a film about LOVE and UNITY. It's a film about how alike we are as a human race. To top it all off, after the movie was over, we experienced a second line parade with over 1400 people down 6th Street. I have never experienced anything like this in my life. I highly recommend you see this without hesitation when it comes to your town. The Director of the film quoted during a Q&A "We want to build bridges, not walls."
