Els últims de Cuba

Gómez-Font, Àlex

Nat King Cole, Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, Pau Casals, Benny Moré, Celia Cruz, Lucky Luciano, Édith Piaf, Maestro Gonzalo Roig and Armando Romeu Jr. These are some of the names that stick out on the pages of this story. A story starring three people. A schoolboy from Montserrat who goes from singing in front of Himmler, to the Barcelona of cabarets and then making the jump to an orchestra that will lead him to success at the legendary Tropicana in Havana. A boy who is on a disastrous tour of Morocco receives a letter inviting him to return to Barcelona to rehearse with a new orchestra that will debut in Havana. And finally a father who flees the horror of the civil war on his way to Cuba where his two children will grow up with the Casal Català and life with the Catalan colony in Havana. A true story that places the protagonists in Fulgencio Batista's Cuba, altered with the arrival of Fidel Castro's Revolution.
