Summary: Interesting Book About Cuban History and Culture
Comment: Ned Sublette, a scholar of music and the history of music has written a new book about Cuban history and culture. Cuban music originated with the slaves during colonial times. It is Sublette's contention that in order to understand Cuba, you must understand colonialism and its impact on Cuba.

In Sublette's book, the chapter on the Spanish-American War that freed Cuba from Spanish colonialism is only 10 pages long. Sublette shows how Cuban music has influenced American music. He also shows how slave music influenced Spanish music during the colonial period. Sublette also discusses the making of Yoruba drums and their influence on Cuban music.

As the above indicates, Sublette's book looks at a wide variety of topics concerning Cuban culture and history. It makes for a most interesting read.
