cUba – sOunDs

Whilst I was in Cuba to record various acoustic ecologies and the natural environmnet, I couldn’t help but be drawn into both the music radiating throughout the island, but the  fascinating sounds accompanying everyday in Cuba. On almost every street corner within the old city there is a fusion of jazz, Latin American and even Creole music, not to mention a myriad of music festivals found in almost every town in the country. I had the excellent fortune of traveling extensively around the island via catamaran, whilst also experiencing much of the inland region. these are some of the sounds I encountered in my travels;)
