Los Primos - 1996-97 "How it all got started"
How in the world did a group of Nova Scotians become lifelong friends with a group of Cubans? It's a story of luck, love, laughter and an all-consuming passion for music and the people who make it. And it all begins with two people from very different backgrounds with a strong social conscience and commitment to action.
