    The complicated legacy of Willie Colón

    We're remembering Willie Colón, the pioneering Nuyorican trombonist who was a key figure in the rise of Fania Records and New York-based salsa. Marisol Negrón, author of Made in NuYoRico: Fania Records, Latin Music, and Salsa’s Nuyorican Meanings, joins Rebecca to discuss Colón's contributions, collaborations with Hector Lavoe, and his complex legacy as an artist whose politics were seemingly at odds with the persona he created, "El Malo," early on in his career. Songs played: "El Malo" "Canto a Borinquen" "El Cantante" "El Gran Varón" Send us Fan Mail Support the show You can support this independently produced podcast by becoming a monthly subscriber - even $3/month helps!

    Violín and hybrid worship practices in contemporary Cuba

    Ethnomusicologist Robin Moore joins Rebecca to discuss the subject of his forthcoming book, Violín: Mediating Musical Style and Devotional Practice in 21st-Century Cuba. As music used to accompany ceremonies for the ancestors and orishas, violines have been growing in recent decades in Cuba, and are an example of an increasingly hybrid musical approach to worship in Cuba.  Songs played (all by Orquesta Estrellas Cubanas except where noted): Ave Maria Plegaria a Obbatalá Two versions of Sea El Santísimo - second one by Ifa Fore & Pepe y Sus Tambores Danzón Virgen de Regla Ochímini II Send us Fan Mail Support the show You can support this independently produced podcast by becoming a monthly subscriber - even $3/month helps!
