Cuban Fusion
The Transnational Cuban Alternative Music Scene
Surveying the impact of Cuba's economic crisis
After the demise of the eastern socialist block, this book documents a relatively unexplored transnational network of collaborations among Cuban musicians that migrated to many different countries from the 1990s forward.
The book’s main argument is that in light of the 1990s crisis in Cuba, new transnational and alternative narratives emerged, resulting in creative in-between spaces that reflect a post-socialist aesthetic condition.
The manuscript also documents important developments in the Cuban jazz and fusion scenes outside the island in the last 20+ years.
