Book Description
“Lam es el cronista definitivo de la música. Es un trabajador infatigable. A sus pasmosos conocimientos sobre la música popular y la historia de la bohemia habanera, donde une la pequeña historia, esa que a veces no se escribe pero que se trasmite a voces, en la tradición oral. Las rescata de la memoria de la gente y las apresa en sus cuartillas apresuradas. Lam ayuda a que esa pequeña historia perviva para la posteridad. Él se define como un cronista de lo urbano, tanto de la música como de la ciudad bohemia y mágica. Lam ayuda a que todo eso perviva para la posteridad” (Ciro Bianchi)

Book Description
Native Americans supplied the maracas. African slaves brought drums and ritual music, and Spaniards brought guitars, brass instruments, and clarinets along with European ballroom dancing. The advent of blues and jazz gave new forms to styles of songs, notably feeling songs, which joined the more traditional styles of trova and bolero. Cuban culture represents a convergence of these diverse backgrounds, and the musical heritage presented in this book reflects these traditions as well. In colonial times, African ritual sounds mixed with Catholic liturgies and brass bands of the Spanish military academies. Ballroom dances, including French music from Haiti popular in 18th-century Havana society, existed side by side with the cabildos (guilds and carnival clubs) and the plantations. The son, considered the expression of Cuban musical identity, had its origins in a rural setting in which African slaves and small farmers from Andalusia worked and played music together, developing many variations over the years, including big band music. Cuban music is now experiencing a major renaissance, and is enjoyed throughout the world.

Book Description
This entertaining history of Cuba and its music begins with the collision of Spain and Africa and continues through the era of Miguelito Valdes, Arsenio Rodriguez, Benny More, and Perez Prado. It offers a behind-the-scenes examination of music from a Cuban point of view, unearthing surprising, provocative connections and making the case that Cuba was fundamental to the evolution of music in the New World. The ways in which the music of black slaves transformed 16th-century Europe, how the "claves" appeared, and how Cuban music influenced ragtime, jazz, and rhythm and blues are revealed. Music lovers will follow this journey from Andalucia, 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 Santeria, Palo, Abakua, and Vodu; and much more.

Book Description
La música es una de las más identificativas manifestaciones de la cultura cubana. Se la conoce universalmente, los compositores, intérpretes y las agrupaciones cubanas recorren el mundo, aclamadas por sus seguidores. Tampoco les han sido esquivos los premios y mucho menos la popularidad. La diversidad de géneros nacidos en esta Isla es asombrosa y la de sus creadores, no menos. Recorrer una parte de la historia musical de Cuba a través de la obra de algunos de sus autores es un reto para el cual requerimos de su complicidad. Protagonistas de la música cubana en ningún modo es un libro para eruditos, por lo que no tema encontrar tecnicismos ni valoraciones de tal índole. Es una colección de más de 90 artículos periodísticos agrupados en tres secciones principales: una de los intérpretes, otra de compositores y una tercera con textos sobre diversos asuntos, lógicamente relacionados con el acontecer musical cubano. Esperamos que le sirvan estos apuntes para conocer, apreciar y degustar mejor la música, en palabras de José Martí, “la más bella forma de lo bello”.
