Cuba
The first episode, where it all began: how music is studied in Cuba and how it passes from one generation to the next.
A docu-series by Claudio Cirillo and Aurora Molina La Musica
La Musica
nel Mondo
How music is born, learned and lived across different cultures. Beyond the stage.
The project
Every episode is a journey.
A country, its history and the people who keep their musical tradition alive. Through interviews, live performances and encounters with musicians, teachers, craftspeople and scholars.
Each episode moves between historical and cultural storytelling and first-hand experience. Not only the big stages: schools, small venues, homes, markets, the places where people gather.
«More than a documentary about music, it is a documentary about people, told through their music.»
