A well-told story about Las Maravillas De Mali, a group of Malian musicians who went on an artistic sabbatical to learn music in Cuba in 1964. Richard Minier and Édouard Salier do a thorough job of retracing the group''s member''s steps over an 18-year period, sharing visuals and music while explaining their story and history. This documentary may not be art, but it sounds just like it.
