Blondie Live in Cuba!
During 2019, Blondie was invited to perform in Havana, Cuba as part of a cultural exchange through the Cuban Ministry of Culture. This was a 40-year ambition come true, especially for songwriter and guitarist Chris Stein, who had longed to visit Cuba for most of his life. Artist and director Rob Roth documented this special moment and career highlight by shooting a short film entitled Blondie: Vivir en la Habana. The film is broken up into three parts - water, fire and air - and presents a meditation on the experience, as well as highlights from the two-night live music performances with special guests Alain Perez, David Torrens and Cuban fusion pioneers Sintesís at Havana's famous Teatro Mella.
The film features narration from Blondie founding members Debbie Harry, Chris Stein, and Clem Burke, providing a glimpse into the passion and beauty they discovered in Havana and the magic moments of performing alongside incredible Cuban artists.
Blondie: Vivir en la Habana goes beyond the typical short-form film-and-live-music documentary by presenting a portrait of the legendary band's first experience in Havana and of the magical exchange between musicians from the two countries and their intertwined influences.
The soundtrack for the film features Cuban musicians Carlos Alfonso, Ele Valdés, María Del Carmen Ávila, Alejandro Delgado, Juan Carlos Marin, Jamil Schery, Degnis Bofill, and Adel González.
