Apple MusicMajor Lazer is following in the footsteps of Lady Gaga and Demi Lovato by putting out a new documentary.
They’ll be releasing Give Me Future next month, a film chronicling their historic March 2016 concert in Havana, Cuba. The group — Diplo, Jillionaire and Walshy Fire — performed for 400,000 people in the city, marking the first time a major American artist had performed in the country since diplomatic ties with the U.S. were restored.
The film also shows how Major Lazer met and connected with young artists in the community
“Major Lazer’s time in Havana was one of the most important and moving experiences of our lives,” Diplo says in a statement. “The people we met and spoke to, the things we saw and the show we played had a profound impact on us, and [director] Austin [Peters] captured it perfectly.”
He adds, “It feels even more impactful to share this with the world in light of current events, and we’re stoked for you to see it.”
The documentary will debut on November 17 on Apple Music. The film will be accompanied by Major Lazer Presents: Give Me Future—Music From and Inspired by the Film, an album featuring new and unreleased tracks from Major Lazer and Diplo and music from Cuban artists featured in the film.
The first single off the album, “Gold,” comes out Friday, October 20.
