Pacifica Radio Archives’ “From the Vault”
Each week the Pacifica Radio Archives chooses a program "From the Vault" of broadcasts in a half-hour program.
This week on From the Vault we explore the rich musical traditions of Cuba, traditions largely unheard by the American population as a direct result of a decades-old trade embargo and diplomatic isolation. We begin with an fantastic 1972 program by Pacifica producer Margo Adler – who showcases songs from the compilation album Cuba Va!, released on Paredon Records. We’ll then hear recordings released by the Institute of Cuban Radio & Television, and conclude with a program featuring Cuban music by or about women, compiled by Angela Davis in 1978, based on recordings she collected while attending the 2nd Congress of the Federation of Cuban Women in 1974.
