He loves his violin brother, cello father, and piano mother, but he feels he has nothing to offer their music. One day, a trio of saxophones asks him to join their band, and he realizes that he carries a band, not a tune. Loubriel's story of bravery and identity is infused with Latin rhythms and joy, and the city of music bursts with exuberance.
