Sunday Playlist: Classic Cuban Country Songs
Back to the roots.
The Cuban countryside is the wellspring for these songs; island stories accompanied by the acoustic soul of guitar and tres, shakers, sticks and bongos. Roots music that sowed the seeds for nightclub dance styles and jazz-infused boleros.
I hope that this hour-long playlist transports you to where the mountains meet the sea.
Listen on Qobuz:
Thank you I’m Cuban and this means the world to me
Thx Judy for such a quick response. There is that argument as to who invented the mambo between Prado and Cachao. I miss him. I had a chance to meet him and see him play a few times. I also love Eliades. It is amazing how many compositions were written Israel and his brother Orestes. I'll recheck that playlist. Ck out The album Unico y Differente by Patato Valdes
