The Shared Musical Heritage of Congo and Cuba

The Shared Musical Heritage of Congo and Cubaaf Sara McGuinness
Bag om The Shared Musical Heritage of Congo and Cuba

There is a longstanding historical and cultural relationship between Congo and Cuba via the slave trade and the ‿return‿ of Cuban music to Africa, a relationship that has apparently been very scantily documented. It is acknowledged that Congolese roots are present in Cuban music but there is little musical analysis of the actual elements concerned. Charting the formation and experience of the fusion band Grupo Lokito, Sara McGuinness explores the contemporary relationships between Cuban and Congolese music, approaching the topic from the perspective of the practitioner. Gropo Lokito brings together musicians from the two musical worlds, and with them McGuinness works through the experience of developing, recording and performing material with them. Her understanding of both traditions is thus deeply rooted in the experience of this cultural exchange. McGuinness investigates whether the historic connections enable contemporary musicians from both worlds to recognize similarities in each other‿s music. Also included is a historical overview of the Congolese arrival in Cuba, how Congolese musical practices were preserved and assimilated into Cuban music as well as an overview of the evolution of twentieth-century Congolese music.
