Revolutionary Music

Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
Today on Soundcheck, singer-songwriter, bandleader, producer and author Ned Sublette joins John Schaefer to us through some of the little known history of Cuban music. With its melange of African, Spanish and Moorish Music, Cuban music has influnced American rhythms north and south. His mounmental social history, Cuba and Its Music, brings readers a history of music from a Cuban point of view. And Brian Lehrer will stop by the studio with his choice of a great recording with which to celebrate American Music Week.
