Pretty good little doc complete with English sub-titles.........
One of the points brought up in this film was how samba was expensive whereas baile funk parties were 'affordable' Which made me think of how salsa/timba in Cuba is mostly presented in clubs where the admission charge precludes all but the super-rich and the tourists.
In Cuba, most clubs I go to are filled with Cubans who are not rich nor poor. They are average by their standards, have nice clothes and love music. Also, there are only a few tourists (unless on or near a resort.
In toronto, there are a handful of people that cannot afford the nightlife. $15 addmission, $20 parking, $7 beers. unfortunately, life is not equally fair and not everyone can afford eachother lifestyles. Entertainment has become a "class".
