Originally published in 1946 and never before available in English. Music in Cuba is not only the best and most extensive study of Cuban musical history, it is a work of literature. Drawing on such primary documents as church circulars and mustical scores. Carpentier encompasses European-style elite Cuban music as well as the popular rural Spanish folk and urban Afro-Cuban music. Perhaps Cubas most important twentieth-century intellectual. Alejo Carpentier (1904-1980) was a novelist, a classically trained pianist and musicologist, and an influential theorist of politics and literature. Born in Havana, he lived for many years in France and Venezuela but returned to Cuba after the 1959 revolution. Book jacket.
