Los Hermanos/The Brothers is a joyful musical odyssey about two brothers on either side of the Cuban-American divide. Audiences will love the music and rapport between these two remarkable musicians.

L
et me know if you'd like to add it to your schedule, or see a screener.
 
Two Cuban-born brothers, both virtuoso musicians – Aldo and Ilmar López-Gavilán – live on opposite sides of the geopolitical chasm that separates the U.S. and Cuba. But although they lead very different existences, the brothers have an instinctual connection.

Following their parallel lives in New York and Havana, Los Hermanos / The Brothers offers an amazingly heartfelt and eye-opening view of our estranged nations through the lens of music and family. In capturing their reunion and electrifying first performances together, the film shows how family bonds can transcend politics.
 
"Six months without live music will be reason enough to see these two gifted musicians reunite across borders to perform publicly for the first time. The film offers a bright take on the endurance of family despite the policies of the day." -WBUR, Boston Public Radio
"A joyful U.S. tour featuring Aldo’s blood-pumping compositions that meld jazz, classical and Latin music." -KQED, San Francisco Public Media

"Exquisite – so much poetry, heart, and exemplary craft.
The editing is just sublime."
-Rob Epstein, Two-time Oscar Winner

"Expertly and beautifully paced, like a great piece of music."
-Joshua Bell, Celebrated American Violinist
