Cuban Fusion The Transnational Cuban Alternative Music Scene

Surveying the impact of Cuba's economic crisis after the demise of the eastern socialist block, this book documents a relatively unexplored transnational network of collaborations among Cuban musicians that migrated to many different countries from the 1990s forward. The book�s main argument is that in light of the 1990s crisis in Cuba, new transnational and alternative narratives emerged, resulting in creative �in-between� spaces that reflect a post- socialist aesthetic condition. The manuscript also documents important developments in the Cuban jazz and fusion scenes outside the island in the last 20+ years..
