Cuba and Its Music
From the First Drums to the Mambo
Ned Sublette
This entertaining history of Cuba and its music begins with the collision of Spain and Africa and continues through the era of Miguelito Vald�s, Arsenio Rodr�guez, Benny Mor�, and P�rez Prado. It offers a behind-the-scenes examination of music from a Cuban point of view, unearthing surprising, provocative connections and making a case for Cuba as fundamental to the evolution of music in the New World. Revealed are how the music of black slaves transformed 16th-century Europe, how the claves appeared, and how Cuban music influenced ragtime, jazz, and rhythm and blues. Music lovers will follow this journey from Andaluc�a, the Congo, the Calabar, Dahomey, and Yorubaland via Cuba to Mexico, Puerto Rico, Saint-Domingue, New Orleans, New York, and Miami. The music is placed in a historical context that considers the complexities of the slave trade; Cuba's relationship to the United States; its revolutionary political traditions; the music of Santer�a, Palo, Abaku�, Vod�, and much more.
