A documentary chronicling the journey of eghty five-year-old Cuban pianist Bebo Valdé to Candeal, a shanty town in Salvador where, thanks to Carlinhos Brown, music has replaced guns and drugs. REAR COVER The Miracle of Candeal begins with the internal journey of Bebo Valdés and concludes with an explosion of music, sensuality and the popular feast of the carnival of Bahía. The film recounts Bebo's journey to Candeal, a journey that is both alive and real for the spectator, leaving no one indifferent. We all participate in the story of a community in Bahía which tries to improve its life through art, fighting as it does both resignation and fate.
