This collection of Cuban music, performed by Cuba's most famous bands and musicians, is a great starting point to capture the essence of this island nation. From an alluring land of tropical beaches, crumbling art deco architecture, and king-size 1950s American cars, Cuba's music is as steamy and exotic as its tropical nights. This music conveys the constant change throughout Cuba's history and the many cultures that have shaped the country.
