The documentary ‘Such is Life’ tells the story about the Cuban jazzpianist Ramón Valle. For the first time in years he returned to his Cuban roots.
The German label ACT discovered his talent and gave him the opportunity to record ‘Levitando’, inspired by the music of the famous Cuban composer Ernesto Lecuona.
