Book Description
Surveying the impact of Cuba’s economic crisis after the demise of the eastern socialist block, this book documents a relatively unexplored transnational network of collaborations among Cuban musicians that migrated to many different countries from the 1990s forward.

The manuscript also documents important developments in the Cuban jazz and fusion scenes outside the island in the last 20+ years..
