Ep 248: Cuban Son
In many ways — because of migration patterns, industry and other socio-political factors — Cuban music is in the DNA of what became Latin popular music, and one place we can clearly hear that is son. This week, we talk about Cuban son - its sonic hallmarks, its history, and its influence on Latinx music today.
Featuring music by Sexteto Habanero, La Sonora Matancera, Trio Matamoros, Beny Moré, Buena Vista Social Club, Omara Portuondo, Compay Segundo, and Gloria Estefan.

Customer Reviews
Bravo
As someone who is a Queer Quechua Bolivian-American Latinx currently living in Toronto, this podcast is a blessing ^_^ I grew up around music from the Andes and to be honest I didn’t like it so much because the music while lively was always depressing. I understand we come from a place of struggle, but for a little kid it was not something I wanted to hear. So the rare times I listen to latinx music was mostly pop (and Selena). Now that I’m in my mid-twenties I’m starting to listen more and your podcast is introducing me to a lot of great new music and giving a nice re-introuction to oldies. Thanks for existing and coming from a place where I know you folks get me ^_^.
The podcast you and I need
Verónica and Miriam are full of insight, passion, love, and joy. It's such a pleasure to hear their reflections and anectodes. I don't even come for the music as much as the for the opportunities to reflect on my Latinidad and the experiences of the diaspora. Thank you to both of them.
