  • TO UNDERSTAND THE HISTORY OF CUBAN RUM IS TO UNDERSTAND THE HISTORY OF CUBA ITSELF.
    Anyone with even a fleeting relationship with Cuba knows that rum has influenced virtually every aspect of Cuban culture. From belief systems to music to revolution, rum has been there, playing its part. "Cuba in a Bottle" tells its story throughout each step of the island’s history, with hand drawn animation, a full original soundtrack that was recorded with a full Cuban band and a diverse cast which reflects the melting pot that is Cuba’s past and present. From rarely filmed religious ceremonies, to the barracks of the sugar cane cutters, the story is told through interviews with legends from the world of music, sport and film as well as a host of Cuban rum experts and master blenders, to reveal how rum is the lifeblood of the country and still remains the sweet pulse of the Cuban soul.

    As a Puerto Rican I love this documentary and a lesson to all Latin Americans and Hispanics here in the United States seeing how two culture converted and accepted into one as well as keeping there own.
    My Great Grandparents came from Andalusia and just found out how La Rumba was born with the mix of African and Andaluz rhythm.
    AMAZING STORY.

    Viva la (rum) revolucion. A luta continua. Cuba's involvement in the Angolan wars against South Africa 75-91 was considerable. The battle of Cuito Cuanavale 1988, an epic. The struggle against capitalist (or other) imperialism is to be applauded.

      You will be disappointed. They show the nice parts in documentaries. You will be shocked at the poverty and run down buildings. Also the lack of technology is scary. There is also alot of shadiness cuz people hustling to get by. The food is really bad too in most places. I went there. I was happy to experience it but even more happy to go home at the end. If you go you will only enjoy it if you go with a tour group and they only take you to nice areas. Real Cuba is kinda depressing lol.

    If something is admirable of the Cuban revolution, is the level of education they achieved, the full accessibility to a health system that really works and the dignity in which they face adversity against the USA economic blockade.

      It was a SMALL portion of Cubans overall who rioted, in the midst of the worst crisis of the pandemic with nothing to do during power blackouts and during the worst of medicine shortages. Many Cubans who did participate in the violence were manipulated, and we personally know of many who received messages from outside Cuba to be paid in USD to provoke, vandalize and even fabricate events for USD. Luckily, the majority of Cubans don’t support or want anything to do with the nonsense and interference that happened on 11J, and want to continue building socialism and cooperating with other countries, and of course, an end to US sanctions.
