Habana Blues (2005)

Like the title hints at, Habana Blues (2005) is the story of Ruy (Alberto Yoel) and Tito (Roberto San Martín), two up and coming musicians in Cuba. Their music mixes traditional Cuban music with newer, more popular forms, and it catches the attention of a Spanish record label. When the record label suggests that they alter their lyrics away from themes involving their homeland the duo is split between staying true to their roots and following the trail of money. Meanwhile, Ruy is having domestic issues; his wife, Caridad (Yailene Sierra) wants to leave for the United States with their children. Themes of globalism against nationalism and artistic integrity against selling out get addressed through the whole film. More importantly, Alberto Yoel gives us the slightest look at his schlong in two scenes! Nothing like a good cock to clear away the blues!
