GUEST,Diolch Songs about Fidel and Che (12) RE: Songs about Fidel and Che 23 Apr 23


Of course, Cubans also write and perform songs about their own history. You can see from the audience reaction on this video how popular, for example, Silvio Rodriguez' song about the Bay of Pigs is:

Silvio Rodríguez - Playa Girón (on youtube)

This genre of Cuban folk music is called Nueva Trova and it emerged in the late 1960s at about the time singer-songwriter folk was on a wave of popularity in other cultures closely linked with Cuba.
