Screenshot of a Variety article excerpt. The article describes the film "Bembé" by Ferrer, which follows a bandless Merengue bandleader navigating the 1980s Latin Music scene in New York. It emphasizes the theme of needing others to succeed. The film, set to shoot in Hancock Park, stars Rafael Castillo, Lex Lumpkin, Vico Ortiz, Nathaly Navarro, Mauro Castillo, Fernando Huc, and Carlos El Grande.

Two behind-the-scenes photos from the set of the film Bembé. The top image shows members of the cast and crew posing together indoors. From left to right: Mauro Castillo in a security guard uniform, Vico Ortiz in a patterned dress shirt, Fernando Huc in a white suit, Rafael Castillo in a blue shirt, writer/director Zayre Ferrer wearing a face mask and green coveralls, Nathaly Navarro holding a script, and Lex Lumpkin holding a trumpet. The bottom image features Carlos El Grande in a silver suit, performing on stage with La Orquesta Bembé—including a bassist, pianist, and percussionist—against a sparkling red curtain. Film equipment is partially visible in the foreground.

I’m so damn proud of this cast: Carlos, Fernando, Lex, Mauro, Nathaly, Rafael, Vico.
Thank you for showing up with your whole selves and making this film sing!
