Krátky popis
Spanning Cuban music from rumba to salsa, and graphic styles from
socialist realist to geometric abstraction, this volume of Cuban
record cover art traces a musical form in constant revolution. The
first ever book about Cuban record sleeve design, compiled by
Gilles Peterson and Stuart Baker, Cuba: Music and Revolution
features hundreds of rarely seen vinyl records from the start of
the Cuban Revolution at the beginning of the 1960s up until 1985,
when Cuba's Special Period, brought about by the dissolution of the
Soviet Union and the withdrawal of Russia's financial support for
the Cuban government, led to the demise of vinyl-record
manufacturing in Cuba. The artwork here reflects both the cultural
and musical depth of Cuba as well as the political influence of
revolutionary communism. Over the past century, Cuban music has
produced a seemingly endless variety of styles--rumba, mambo, son,
salsa--at a dizzyingly fast rate. Since the 1940s a steady stream
of Cuban musicians has also made the migration to the US, sparking
changes in North American musical forms: bandleader Machito set New
York's jazz and Latin scene on fire, and master drummer Chano
Pozo's entry into Dizzy Gillespie's group led to the birth of Latin
jazz, to name just two. After the Cuban Revolution in 1959, the new
government closed American-owned nightclubs and consolidated the
island's recording industry under a state-run monopoly. Out of this
new socialist agenda came new musical styles, including the Nueva
Trova movement of left-wing songwriters. The 1980s saw more
experimentation in modernist jazz, salsa and Afro-Cuban folkloric
music. Generously illustrated with hundreds of color images, Cuba:
Music and Revolution presents the history of Cuban record cover
art, including many examples previously unseen outside the island
itself.
