Changui and the music of Oriente

Afro-Cuban culture, Cuba, Video and audio

We found this excellent presentation on the history of Changui, the music of Oriente, and the mystery of East and West in Cuba.

It’s by Ben Lapidus and includes many musical examples.

The audio is a little low so crank it up a little.
