I first saw this movie at a small private cinema in Avondale, Auckland. I was caught up in it, and not just because it was in Spanish (and I understood a lot of it then).
They are hot-shot players, the greatest musicians on the planet today. There is no ego, no jockeying for position. They've evolved this perfect ensemble concept and the music speaks in a natural voice. This was the greatest musical experience in my life, the peak, something I felt I had trained all my life to do.

The music is spectacular, the story is incredible, the people are amazing.
