English: Miki Flow is known both within his country and at an international level as one of the most recognized voices of Cuban Hip-Hop. From the year 1999, Miki Flow, as part of his group 'Explosión Suprema' (Supreme Explosion), has participated in the annual Cuban Festival of Hip-Hop.
"A new social club" (Cary Darling, SXSW)
"A rap movement in East Cuba? Apparently so. And not only is it big but its actually really really good. I would be shocked if this film doesn't become an indie popular." (SXSW Blog, Blankscreen)
"[East of Havana is] essentially a sort of anti-Buena Vista Social Club. There is a Ferrer in the story but he's called Soandres not Ibrahim and he prefers over-sized T-shirts and baggy jeans to white caps and natty spats." (Barry Didcock, Sunday Herald, Scotland)
"You can appreciate rap's deep significance to a Cuban musician named Soandry, who (in East of Havana) declares, 'Hip-hop means struggle. It means having a determined attitude towards life. Rebellion. The fight to make things better. The detoxification of the mind and body. To me, it means freedom.' Coming from someone living under Fidel Castro's regime, these words are anything but casual." (Desson Thomson, Washington Post)
"The film says something quite interesting, which is that as much as Cuban citizens may fear the power of the government, the government fears its people and their freedom of expression exponentially more. Wim Wenders The Buena Vista Social Club showed us one side of Cuban music and culture, but East of Havana finally reveals the voice of contemporary Cuban youth and the rise of a very different new generation." (Jeffrey Wells, SXSW Blog)
"There are lessons in [East of Havana] -- political as well as musical -- that the download generation would do well to heed if they can tear themselves from MTV." (Barry Didcock, Sunday Herald, Scotland)
