Sasser, Music & Lyrics by Charles Vincent Burwell. CUBAMOR follows two American graduate students, Lazaro and Zoe, and two Cubans, Maria and Renato, as the Americans visit Cuba on a ten-week university sponsored “goodwill tour.”
Lazaro is a young drummer, a brash product of the hip-hop generation. Zoe is a political studies major, and knows everything there is to know about Cuba, because she read it in a book. Maria is a former ballet dancer for Ballet Nacional de Cuba, whose career was sidelined by an injury. She now works as a customs official, watching foreigners come and go freely from her country while she must stay. Her cousin Renato is a struggling musician, and also a jinetero, or hustler, who seduces tourists to makes ends meet. All harbor a secret pain, and are running from an aspect of their lives. CUBAMOR is seeking development and production possibilities, and partners. For more information, visit our website, or contact one of the administrators.
