The Cuban Cowboys
Tagged: Cuba, Cuban, Florida, Miami, Spanglish, student, teacherPosted on: August 23rd, 2007“This self-labeled “Cuban surf-rock” band has a curious history. A few years ago, Miami-born founder Jorge Navarro conducted academic research on how to use music as an educational tool for teachers who work with Hispanic students. While he was at it, he came up with the concept for his band, which centers on his character, the Cuban Cowboy.
In the Cowboys music, there are no congas, maracas, or other Latin percussion instruments. Instead we get a straight rock band guitar, bass, drums that uses elements from Cuban and South American sounds. And Navarro uses plenty of Spanglish in the lyrics.”
