The first book-length study on Cuban music in the English language.
This volume consists of thirteen articles written by nine authors,
including four Cuban scholars and five North American
ethnomusicologists. The articles by Cuban scholars, translated from
largely out-of-print publications, constitute a selection of some
of the best Cuban research on their island's music, and present a
set of perspectives which complement those of the North American
authors. The articles cover such areas as descriptions of the
Afro-Haitian derived tumba francesa, the traditional Afro-Cuban
rumba, and the rural punto, as cultivated by peasants of Hispanic
descent; aspects of the music bureaucracy in contemporary Cuba; the
American music industry's dissemination of Cuban-derived salsa in
New York City; Afro-Cuban cult music; the history and current
status of charanga dance bands; and more.
