Vision & Concept
Deeply rooted in their rich heritage and collective identity, both Indian and Cuban cultures cherish a profound love for music and dance.
Following the triumphant reception of his documentary "Cuba My Soul" in India, where audiences reveled in the splendor of Cuban music and dance, filmmaker Craig Miller is driven to lead a collaborative project honoring the mutual love for music shared by these two nations.
This ambitious endeavor aims to seamlessly fuse the vibrant styles of Bollywood and Cuban music, drawing from genres like reggaeton, Cuban Son, and traditional Indian melodies. From crafting original compositions to producing captivating music videos, orchestrating live performances with intricate dance routines, and documenting the journey behind the scenes, the project encompasses a wide spectrum of creative endeavors.
More than a mere fusion of artistic expressions, "Cuba comes to Bollywood" serves as a poignant testament to the transformative power of cultural exchange and collaboration. Join us on this journey as we unite the pulsating rhythms of Cuba with the soulful essence of Bollywood.
