- Summary
- Every second Sunday of July from the 1960s through the early 2000s, hundreds of Cubans and lovers of Cuban music assembled at the Bohemian Beer Garden in Queens for the Recordando el Mamoncillo festival. This documentary gives viewers a chance to experience that cultural event. Recordando el Mamoncillo tells the story of the yearly festival. The history and cultural importance of El Club Cubano and the Recordando el Mamoncillo festival is brought to life by dance scenes, testimonies of long-time members of the club and musical performances by Son Sublime, Chico Alvarez y su Palo Monte, Charanga All-Stars, and others. El Club Cubano Inter-Americano, an Afro-Cuban social club was formed in New York City in 1945. Inspired by Antonio Maceo, the Black Cuban hero of the Cuban war of independence, El Club Cubano was founded with the objective of creating a cultural space that would welcome Cubans and other Latin Americans regardless of “race, sex, and political or religious creed.” In its heyday the club held banquets in honor of boxer Kid Gavilán, singers Beny Moré and Celia Cruz. Until recently, El Club Cubano was held together by a group of elders who continued to host the annual “Recordando el Mamoncillo” dance.
