    Ep 248: Cuban Son

    Ep 248: Cuban Son

    In many ways — because of migration patterns, industry and other socio-political factors — Cuban music is in the DNA of what became Latin popular music, and one place we can clearly hear that is son. This week, we talk about Cuban son - its sonic hallmarks, its history, and its influence on Latinx music today.

    Featuring music by Sexteto Habanero, La Sonora Matancera, Trio Matamoros, Beny Moré, Buena Vista Social Club, Omara Portuondo, Compay Segundo, and Gloria Estefan.

I’ve been listening since day 1. Radio Menea has been and will always remain my favorite podcast. I am that magical unicorn who likes the experimental cello and the pop music. 💖💖💖 Much love and thank y’all, Vero and Pérez, from the depths of my weird little heart.
