Presenting on the XI Conference on Cuban and Cuban American Studies at FIU, February 2017

Last February, I had the pleasure of making a presentation at a Panel on Cuban Popular Music on the Island and in the Diaspora, at the Eleventh Conference on Cuban and Cuban American Studies. The conference was organized by the Cuban Research Institute from Florida International University.

The panel was chaired by Nora Gamez (El Nuevo Herald) and the panelists were: Beatriz Calvo Peña (Barry University, Miami), Liliana Casaneva Cue (Instituto Cubano de la Música, Havana) and Hazell Santiso Aguila (Universidad Autónoma de Aguas Calientes, México). We also had the great company of musicologist and author Dr. Cristobal Diaz Ayala.
