Show Notes
In Travel Notes Episode 6, I sit down with my good friend and local musician - Gino Castillo to explore Afro Cuban Music. We talk about its' roots, role in the community and how shares similarities with other African influenced musical genres across the Americas. We dive into some of Cuba’s other musical genres as well and listen to Afro Cuban jazz group Irakere, Buena Vista Social Club singer Ibrahim Ferrer and a two of Gino’s original compositions. By the end of the show, you’ll be ready to hop in a Ford Model T and hit the streets of Havana! I hope you enjoy
