This book explores the complexity of Cuban dance music and the webs
that connect it, musically and historically, to other Caribbean
music, to salsa, and to Latin Jazz. Establishing a scholarly
foundation for the study of this music, Raul A. Fernandez
introduces a set of terms, definitions, and empirical information
that allow for a broader, more informed discussion. He presents
fascinating musical biographies of prominent performers Cachao
Lpez, Mongo Santamar a, Armando Peraza, Patato Vald(r)s, Francisco
Aguabella, Cindido Camero, Chocolate Armenteros, and Celia Cruz.
Based on interviews that the author conducted over a nine-year
period, these profiles provide in-depth assessments of the
musiciansOCO substantial contributions to both Afro-Cuban music and
Latin Jazz. In addition, Fernandez examines the links between Cuban
music and other Caribbean musics; analyzes the musical and poetic
foundations of the Cuban son form; addresses the salsa phenomenon;
and develops the aesthetic construct of sabor, central to Cuban
music. "Copub: Center for Black Music Research""
