Musicology Lecture: Transnational Ventriloquism: Hearing Voices in Contemporary Cuban Popular Song - Susan Thomas (University of Georgia)
A new style of hybrid Cuban music has developed since the 1990s, drawing not only on Cuban and international instrumental styles but also on vocal techniques, timbres, and articulations drawn from non-Cuban artists and, increasingly, iconic Cuban voices. This talk explores how such ventriloquisms have become central to the "voluptuousness of meaning" (Barthes 1997) of contemporary Cuban popular song.
