Trailer for Obsesión: My Song
Synopsis
Duo Obsesión was one of the first groups of the booming Havana Hip Hop movement of the 1990s, part of a new generation of AfroCuban youth who used Hip Hop as a platform to talk about a wide range of racial and social justice issues, and to promote Black pride and Black consciousness. Branching into Popular Education and community activism, Obsesión has kept it going until today. Our short documentary explores their creative work — and their philosophy of life and music.
