Sir Pop's Soul Love Under the Cloak of Love

From the "Pearl of the Caribbean" Cuban Hakana to Broadway in New York to Hollywood in Los Angeles, California, "Love in Cuba" uses the ups and downs of the love story of piano musician Chico and talented singer Rita in the 1940s. It links the rise and fall of pop jazz in the process of social and cultural changes across the race.

There is suspicion and willfulness in love, and narrow prejudice in music; love still has external forces to break up after confirming the eyes, and music still has political suppression after breaking racial barriers with charm. But once the seeds of beauty are awakened, they will eventually be born again in the spring breeze. Love and art are the same...

Delicate hand-painted street scenes and rhythmic music give the audience a double feast for both audio and visual, a masterpiece of conscience. In particular, the film pays tribute to the masters of pop jazz, such as Stravinsky, Charlie Parker, Gillespie, Dizzy Gilles, etc., with great care.
