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
