Description
Timba: The Sound of the Cuban Crisis explores the revolutionary transformation of Cuban music after 1959, revealing how political upheaval created conditions for a uniquely sophisticated popular music form. Whilst Cuban music's influence on Latin American and US popular music is widely acknowledged, the rich musical developments on the island following the Revolution have remained largely overshadowed by the commercial success of the Buena Vista Social Club. This SOAS Studies in Music publication examines how freedom from market pressures allowed Afro-Cuban dance music to flourish and gain renewed prominence during the 1990s. The book provides essential historical context and cultural analysis for understanding timba's significance as both a musical genre and a reflection of post-revolutionary Cuban society, offering readers a deeper appreciation of how political circumstances shaped artistic innovation.
