Omara

When asked what the secret of her long life is, she replies "Cuba... comes to Cuba..."
A cheerful and entertaining portrait of Omara Portuondo, grande dame of Cuban music and best known internationally as a member of the Buena Vista Social Club.
Omara Portuondo defies age-related expectations and continues to tour the world at the age of 89. Lively, charming and still in possession of her fantastic voice. The film follows the Afro-Cuban music icon as he performs around the globe, from Mexico City to Tokyo to New York and back to Havana.
Cuban director Hugo Perez gives audiences unique access to the diva who was once called the Cuban Billie Holiday. In this documentary, he lets the musician tell her own story and carefully lifts the veil that has hidden Portuondo's life from a growing, ever-admiring public.
