Of the many films making their North American and world premieres at this year’s 51st annual San Francisco International Film Festival, one music documentary has particularly close ties to The City. ‘Cachao: Uno Mas’ was originally envisioned as a concert film of a 2005 performance by legendary Cuban bass player Israel “Cachao” Lopez with actor and longtime champion Andy Garcia and the group, The Cineson All-Stars, at Bimbo’s 365 Club in North Beach. The producers realized that the documentary presented an opportunity to create a full portrait of one of the architects of modern Cuban music and expanded the film to include interviews with the bassist as well as family, friends and musical compatriots.”*
