How Cuban politics puts a spin on Latin Grammys
Tagged: Cuba, Cuban, Ry Cooder“As always, Cuban reaction to the Latin Grammy nominations comes loaded with politics. What gets reported, what gets omitted and what role Cubans have played in the Latin Grammy according to Cuba are all worth a second look.
The musicians named by a Sept. 28 note from Prensa Latina, the Cuban press agency, are veteran singer/songwriter Pablo Milanés; the late Compay Segundo of Buena Vista Social Club fame; the Afro-Cuban All-Stars directed by Juan de Marcos González, who organized for Ry Cooder the Buena Vista recordings; and the rumba group Yoruba Andabo.”
