Buena Vista In The Club: Rap, Reggaetn, And Revolution In Havana (Refiguring American Music),New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In Buena Vista in the Club, Geoffrey Baker traces the trajectory of the Havana hip hop scene from the late 1980s to the present and analyzes its partial eclipse by reggaetn. While Cuban officials initially rejected rap as the music of the enemy, leading figures in the hip hop scene soon convinced certain cultural institutions to accept and then promote rap as part of Cubas national culture. Culminating in the creation of the staterun Cuban Rap Agency, this process of nationalization drew on the shared ideological roots of hip hop and the Cuban nation and the historical connections between Cubans and African Americans. At the same time, young Havana rappers used hip hop,the music of urban inequality par excellence, to critique the rapid changes occurring in Havana since the early 1990s, when the Soviet Union fell, its subsidy of Cuba ceased, and a tourismbased economy emerged. Baker considers the explosion of reggaetn in the early 2000s as a reflection of the new materialism that accompanied the influx of foreign consumer goods and cultural priorities into sociocapitalist Havana. Exploring the transnational dimensions of Cubas urban music, he examines how foreigners supported and documented Havanas growing hip hop scene starting in the late 1990s and represented it in print and on film and CD. He argues that the discursive framing of Cuban rap played a crucial part in its success.
