Soul Jazz Records: Cuba - Music And Revolution - Culture Clash in Havana 1975-85 Vinyl 3LP
"Cuba: Music and Revolution is the new album compiled by Gilles Peterson and Stuart Baker that explores the many new styles that emerged in Cuba in the 1970s as Jazz, Funk, Brazilian Tropicalia and even Disco mixed together with Latin and Salsa on the island as Cuban artists experimented with new musical forms created in the unique socialist state of Cuba. The album is jam-packed with heavy bass lines, synth and Wah-Wah guitar funk combined with the heavyweight percussion, powerful brass lines and the all-encompassing Latin rhythms of Cuban music known throughout the world. The music on this album features legendary Cuban groups such as Irakere, Los Van Van and Pablo MilanĆ©s as well as a host of lesser known artists such as the radical Grupo De ExperimentaciĆ³n, Juan Pablo Torres and Algo Nuevo, Grupo Monumental and Orquesta Ritmo Oriental, groups whose names remain largely unknown outside of Cuba owing to the now 60-year old US trade embargo which remains in place today and which prevents trade with Cuba ā and thus most Cuban records were only ever available in Cuba or in ex-Soviet Union states. Most of the music featured on this album has never been heard outside of Cuba." - Soul Jazz Records
