Description

Explore the evolution of Cuban music through this academic study from the SOAS Studies in Music series. While the Buena Vista Social Club remains a famous global phenomenon, this book looks past that shadow to examine the music produced on the island after the 1959 Revolution. Since the Revolution, unique conditions allowed for the birth of highly sophisticated popular music that developed relatively free from standard market pressures. This work examines how these conditions led to the rising importance of Afro-Cuban dance music during the 1990s. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of how Cuban music serves as a major historical force behind Latin American popular music and its role in the development of US popular music and jazz. This text provides a necessary perspective on the musical shifts that occurred within the island's changing social landscape.
