Music of Cuba with Guest DJ Ned Sublette
Hear this show now:
Pop-up player!
Musician, radio producer, auctioneer, record label honcho and author Ned Sublette joins us
with a musical companion to Cuba and Its Music:
From the First Drums to the Mambo.
The book is the first part of a remarkably in-depth two-volume
study of the music of Cuba, its historical and cultural roots and its global
impact.
The first chapter of the book, which traces the
story's foundation to antiquity, is at WNYC's website here.
And at the other end of the chronology, an excerpt on the
mid-20th century Cuban singer/bandleader Arsenio Rodriguez via the Afropop
Worldwide site (Ned is a radio producer for Afropop) is here.
You can purchase the book from the usual suspect here,
a less usual suspect here; or if
you want other purchase suggestions (or if you need help interpreting this somewhat fragmentary playlist), send us an e-mail.
