Documentary Achievement Award

Director Fabien Pisani will be in attendance to participate in a post-screening Q&A.

This screening is a part of the Spotlight on Cuba at Miami Film Festival, made possible with support of ArtesMiami. 

Today, reggaeton is the most popular genre of music among Latinos in Latin America and the United States. Sixty years after Mambo and Cha Cha Cha, and forty years after Salsa, reggaeton reigns as a world-wide symbol of Latino pop culture and as one of the strongest urban cultural trends. In Cuba, a historical hub of Latin music, the reggaeton movement is extremely powerful. However, it’s almost impossible to find reggaeton in record stores, or to hear it on the radio or television. En La Caliente tells the story of how reguetón has become the megaphone of an emerging Cuba against the official discourse.
