Afro-Cuban Sound: A Legacy That Survives Over Time
Learn about The history of Urban music in Cuba – a journey through the main Cuban musical genres starting in the 40s to the present and their relationship in different contexts with Afro-Cuban culture and how they have mixed and created an identity that remains to this day. The alternative and urban genres and rhythms represent the sound track of several generations in Cuba.
