Tumbao Radio – Show #03 “Cuba” (Hosted by Tumbao)

Tumbao Radio returns with a deep dive into the music of Cuba – a heritage whose Afro-spiritual roots and genre-busting creativity underpin a fierce resilience of both culture and people.

The show starts with some older classics from the godfather of the son montuno, blind tres master Arsenio Rodríguez, beloved folk duo Celina Y Reutilio, and El Bárbaro del Ritmo, Beny Moré. In the latter half, DJ and host Rhythm & Hues (Parker Mah) lines up some littler-known ventures into funk and jazz territory with fusion and experimental groups such as Irakere, Juan Pablo Torres and Grupo Folklorico y Experimental Nuevayorquino with a few Afro-Cuban tracks thrown in for good measure.
