Corneta china & Cantonese opera: The Chinese musical legacy

  • Sumário

  • Ethnomusicologist Edwin Porras joins Rebecca to speak about Chinese musical influences in Cuba, which date back to the mid-19th century. The double-reeded suona was adopted by Santiago conga groups around 1915, becoming an unmistakable musical signifier for conga santiaguera.

    **Fun fact: Cuba was the first destination for Chinese laborers in the Americas, before even the U.S.**
