Los Zafiros was to Cuba what the Beatles were to the rest of the world in the early 1960's. Los Zafiros (The Sapphires) melded together American doo-wop with Afro-Cuban rhythm, Salsa and other forms of traditional Latin music. They caused a huge sensation in their homeland elevating them to legendary status amongst their people.
"Crowd-pleasing....an appealing mix of artistry, nostalgia and unspoken political overtones....a musical, historical & emotional odyssey."
