A collection of recordings from Folkways Records that delves into the origins of Cuban music. In the liner notes, percussionist John Santos unravels the history of Cuba from the slave era through traditional music of Yoruba origins, such as Santeria and Lucumi, Rumba, Bolero, Guaracha, Son, performed by local performers in 1978 and 1979. Also mentions the influence of these musical forms on popular music such as Salsa. Think it is an important resource that extends to Cuban music and Latin music as well. The recordings were made by Verna Gillis, an ethnomusicology who has also left behind many recordings for Folkways and Lyrichord. This is a rare, late-period release from 1985, in excellent condition with shrink wrap.
Folkways Recordsによるキューバ音楽の起源に迫る音源集。78年から79年に録音された現地の演奏者達によるサンテリアやルクミのヨルバ族を起源とする伝統音楽、ルンバ、ボレロ、グアラチャ、ソンなどを通して、パーカッショニストのJohn Santosがライナーノーツにて奴隷時代から遡り歴史を紐解いています。さらにこれらの音楽形態がサルサなどのポピュラー音楽に与えた影響についても言及しています。キューバ音楽及びラテンにまで広がる重要な資料と言えると思います。録音は民族音楽学博士でもありFolkwaysやLyrichordでも多くの録音作品を残したVerna Gillis。稀少な85年リリースのシュリンク付き超美品。
