Exclusive Screening "Two Beats One Soul"
African American Women In Cinema is thrilled to present a special VIP film screening of the highly anticipated documentary, Two Beats One Soul. This captivating film follows the journey of husband and wife music producers, Ray Chew and Vivian Scott Chew, as they embark on a two-week adventure in Cuba. Their mission: to create a unique musical collaboration that blends sounds rooted in Afro-Caribbean traditions, ultimately evolving into the vibrant rhythms of modern-day Salsa.
The documentary not only showcases the creative process and the challenges faced by the duo but also offers an intimate glimpse into Cuban culture. Featuring performances by renowned artists like Eric Benét, Louie Vega, and Sergio George—who has worked with icons such as Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony—the film delivers an auditory experience that resonates deeply with the soul.
Be inspired by the passion, positive energy, and love that fuel both the music and the enduring partnership of Ray and Vivian Scott Chew. This exclusive virtual screening will take place on September 11th, from 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM, in celebration of the film’s upcoming release on Comcast’s Black Experience on Xfinity Channel and the Xumo Play streaming app on September 15th.
