Breakout Cuban singer-songwriter Yusa and other special guests make this Latin-flavored PHJB show one you won’t want to miss!
A message from PHJB: “A Tuba To Cuba is as much a soundtrack to our documentary as it is a collection of songs that we wrote and recorded during the filming and after its completion.
