World Music on Continental Drift

Bienvenidos a Continental Drift! Felipe takes you on a trip to Cuba for this edition, where he explores the various traditional and contemporary musical styles found on this Caribbean isle. From Son to Chachacha, all the way to Nueva Trova, many of the songs featured range from the irresistably danceable to the lyrically complex, and we expect no less from Continental Drift! Don’t let finals get you down, students. We’re here to offer the study break we all need.

Also make sure to check out this edition of Global Shuffle where featured the music of our friends on MySpace.com.
