PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
A thorough and entertaining history of Cuba and its music by the popular radio producer, music historian and cofounder of Cuban record label QbaDisc. It's an exhaustive, lively work, beginning not in Cuba but in what is now the southern Spanish city of Cadiz in 1104 BCE and venturing as far as the influence of Cuban music on contemporary American hip-hop.
