  • Summary

  • Ethnomusicologist and percussionist Johnny Frias joins Rebecca to speak about one of the lesser known Afro-Cuban folkloric practices, the tonada trinitaria, from the central Cuban city of Trinidad. We then delve into the rumba percussion style that has become dominant in recent decades, guarapachangueo, created by a group of brothers from the outskirts of Havana known as Los Chinitos.

    Songs played:
    Una corona al General Maceo, Conjunto Folclórico de Trinidad
    Plegarias, Grupo Abbilona (Los Chinitos)
    Caridad, Pancho Quinto
    El conflictivo, Humo + La Liga Rumbera
