I am writing an article about cultural influences of the Metropoli in XVII-XVIII centuries in Latin America. The current topic I am writing about is music, and I have not enough idea about it.
I found a book which talks about Cuba and its sounds (Cuba y sus sones, by Natalio Galán). In the introduction, it explains a bit the origins of American music, and why are more important Brazilian and Cuban rythms than others.
But I need to learn more about that field, and to know other points of view. I was wondering if some of you could help me with your opinion.
I will be very grateful.
