Danzon: Circum-Carribean Dialogues in Music and Dance - Currents in Latin American and Iberian Music
Madrid, Alejandro L. (Associate Professor of Music, Associate Professor of Music, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY)
Initially branching out of the European contradance tradition, the danzon first emerged as a distinct form of music and dance among black performers in nineteenth-century Cuba. By the early twentieth-century, it had exploded in popularity throughout the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean basin. This book studies the emergence, hemisphere-wide influence, and historical and contemporary significance of this phenomenon of music and dance.
