Ep 248: Cuban Son

from Radio Menea Hosted by Verónica Bayetti Flores and Miriam Zoila Pérez

In many ways — because of migration patterns, industry and other socio-political factors — Cuban music is in the DNA of what became Latin popular music, and one place we can clearly hear that is son. This week, we talk about Cuban son - its sonic hallmarks, its history, and its influence on Latinx music today. Featuring music by Sexteto Habanero, La Sonora Matancera, Trio Matamoros, Beny Moré, Buena Vista Social Club, Omara Portuondo, Compay Segundo, and Gloria Estefan.
