The members of the Cuban band ‘La Vieja Trova Santiaguera’ may be 84 years old on average, in their songs about love the five gentlemen combine wisdom with passion. ‘What do I care that you used to adore someone else and groaned in his arms with pain and delight? When I drink a glass of wine, do I wonder whether the glass I raise once quenched the thirst of another heavy drinker?‘ With a double bass, two guitars, maracas and claves (wooden rhythm sticks) as their instruments, these old troubadours put on extremely lively shows. Especially in contrast with the way they have to be helped down from the stage after a concert. Filmmaker Sonia Herman Dolz (Madrid, 1962) is associated with the VPRO TV programme Diogenes. In 1991 she directed Romance de Valentía, a controversial documentary about the bullfight.
