Event Details

Many forms of Latin music can trace their origins to Cuba and are a core part of Cubania (Cuban national identity). As Cubans emigrated to the United States, they brought their love of music with them, especially to Hudson County, New Jersey. While many histories of Cuban and Latin music are focused on New York City, New Jersey played a critical role in the development and expansion of Cuban and Latin music in the United States. Please join us in celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month as Dr. Benjamin Lapidus uncovers the rich history of Cuban culture, through music, in New Jersey over the last 100 years.

Registration is required to receive the Zoom link.

This program is graciously shared with us by our friends at the New Jersey State Library.
