| The Poet of Havana explores the cultural, political and social significance Varela has had in his 30 years as a singer-songwriter.
A veteran of censorship battles with the Cuban government, his emotionally charged songs—raw, metaphoric chronicles of contemporary Cuban life—
have drawn comparisons to Bob Dylan’s work. Jackson Browne’s translation of Varela’s Muros y Puertas
(Walls and Doors), talks about how polarized we are as a society, evident in the song’s refrain, “There can be freedom only when nobody
owns it.” Shot in Havana with unique access, the audience enjoys stunning concert and insider backstage moments, along with exclusive
interviews with such international stars as Ivan Lins, Luis Enrique, Juan and Samuel Formel, Diana Fuentes, X Alfonso, Alexander Abreu, in addition to
Jackson Browne and actor Benicio Del Toro (The Usual Suspects, Traffic, Guardians of the Galaxy). |
