LATINO MOVIE OF THE MONTH - FULL MOVIE 9/2013

This month's Latino movie is The Mambo Kings.

Cuban brothers arrive in America with a suitcase full of songs, hearts filled with passion and a desire to make it big in the promised land. One is a bit more passionate than the other, who likes the simple life a little more and continues to miss the girl who stayed back home, not realizing that his brother was forced to leave with him in order to save his life.

An utterly charming film. Highly recommended.  The ending was just a little off, but overall this movie was very entertaining.
