Cuban Music Counterpoints - Vanguardia Musical in Global Networks

Cuban Music Counterpoints traces the continuities and ruptures in the Cuban classical music scene between 1940 and 1991. The book focuses on specific events, objects, and compositions that reveal how composers forged connections with local and foreign composers, visual artists, writers, dancers, and film makers by placing them within emergent global, social, political, and cultural contexts.
