For the next several months, From the Isle of Music will be featuring the nominees and winners of Cubadisco 2016, Cuba’s equivalent of the GRAMMY.

Our June 28 (June 27 in the Americas on WBCQ) program includes special guest María Felicia Pérez, director of Coro Exaudi, winner of the Choral Music category in Cubadisco 2016. We’ll also play some Popular Dance Music by Jesús Cutiño, nominated in the Popular Dance Music – New Talents category and some of Live in Cuba by Wynton Marsalis, which was awarded an International Prize at Cubadisco. Also, some vintage Irakere.
