While there are a number of works in Spanish about this artistic movement, this is the first in English that explains this important aspect of Cuban culture.

But though they address different motives and problems, the thoughtfully written songs continue. Contemporary Cuban artists are often influenced now by other genres, including hip-hop, pop, and popular Cuban dance music.<\/p>\n
