"Cuban popular music, sung, danced and enjoyed in the most difficult latitudes, has not frequently been addressed in generalizing texts. With "Del areíto y otros sones", researcher Martha Esquenazi Perez proposes an overview of our traditional musical manifestations, which It goes from the analysis of the very diverse aboriginal, Hispanic, African, Caribbean or Asian contributions, to the refinement of the genres of traditional popular music: the complexity of the "son," the song, the key choruses, the complexity of rumba and carnival music, with a novel and very personal vision, which also creatively assimilates the findings of other scholars of the subject."
