Title: Masterpiece
Review: From the dawn of human speech to the contemporary era, Sublette covers every force in history converging to create the modern latin sound. Here are some things I learned reading this book;1)Cuban music is as much a story of the fusion of Congolese and Nigerian elements as it is a story of African and Spanish fusion.2) Why African culture forces remained predominant in Cuba while dissipating in other colonies.3) All about the Abakua, Palo, Ekue, and all that.No dry history text, this is a fascinating read, well researched and crafted as a labor of love.
