Music in Cuba

Originally published in 1946 and never before available in English, Music in Cuba is not only the best and most extensive study of Cuban musical history, it is a work of literature. Drawing on such primary documents as church circulars and musical scores, Carpentier encompasses European-style elite Cuban music as well as the popular rural Spanish folk and urban Afro-Cuban music.

Timothy Brennan is professor of cultural siudies, comparative literature, and English at the University of Minnesota Alan West-Duran is a freelance translator living in Massachusens
