{"product_id":"9781556526329","title":"Cuba and Its Music: From the First Drums to the Mambo","description":"The music of Cuba is \"a fundamental music of the New World\" and has been deeply influential on the music of its northern neighbor, the United States. Addressing the neophyte, Sublette (a former coproducer of the public radio program \u003ci\u003eAfropop Worldwide\u003c\/i\u003e and cofounder of the record label Qbadisc) explores the history of Cuban music, which in his eyes cannot be disentangled from Cuban history generally. He characterizes the history of the music as one \"of cultural collisions, of voluntary and forced migrations, of religions and revolutions.\" His narrative travels from the Spanish and African roots of Cuban music through colonial times and up to the eve of the revolutionary period.
