“BLENDS MUSIC, FAMILY, AND POLITICS FOR AN INSPIRING, SPIRITED, AND BRILLIANTLY CRAFTED FILM THAT LEAVES YOU UPLIFTED, AFFIRMING THE POWER OF ART.”
The film
Virtuoso Afro-Cuban-born brothers—violinist Ilmar and pianist Aldo—live on opposite sides of a geopolitical chasm a half-century wide. Tracking their parallel lives in New York and Havana, their poignant reunion, and their momentous first performances together, Los Hermanos/The Brothers offers a nuanced, often startling view of estranged nations through the lens of music and family.
Featuring an electrifying, genre-bending score, composed by Cuban Aldo López-Gavilán, performed with his American brother, Ilmar, and with guest appearances by maestro Joshua Bell and the Harlem Quartet.
DIVIDED BY POLITICS.
UNITED BY MUSIC.
