麻豆约拍

The composer Michael Nyman chanced upon the legendary late band leader Edmundo Ros when they were both created Fellows of the Royal Academy of Music. From that encounter grew Nyman's determination to tell the story of Ros, the man who almost single-handedly introduced Latin music to the British. This film, made when he was 90, saw Ros back in the recording studio and even talking about touring again.

It was the 1950s and 1960s when he was a household name, moving from wartime celebrity on 麻豆约拍 radio to his shows on the newly popular post-war 麻豆约拍 Television. His attempt to bring a looser, sexier rhythm to the stiff English upper classes led to the vast appeal for his Latin dance music, which was only eclipsed by the rise of the Beatles in the 1960s.

Interviewed in Spain, Ros beguiles Nyman with candid snapshots of his rich life, wittily illustrated with revealing archive of his time and his own collection of home movies. All with an irresistible soundtrack of his tunes.
