CUBAN CONNECTION
Selected by El Vaquero (aka Ned Sublette)
Timba. Rumba. Rap. Son. Charanga. And more. The contemporary and historic sounds of Cuba mixed by the one and only El Vaquero (The Cowboy), aka Ned Sublette who is a longtime contributor to Afropop Worldwide and one of America's leading experts on Cuban music.
You'll hear searing tracks from Havana's best loved dance bands such as Los Van Van and NG La Banda as well as classic recordings by the immortals Arsenio Rodriguez, Beny Moré and others.
