Changüí The Sound of Guantánamo

Petaluma Records • World Deluxe three-CD silkscreened box with 120-page fullcolor hardbound book including over 100 original photographs. Liner notes by box set producer Gianluca Tramontana, with additional essays by changui historians José Cuenca Sosa, Gabriel Rojas Perez, and Benjamin Lapidus, PhD. Between 2017 and 2019 music journalist Gianluca Tramontana traveled to the Guantanamo region of Cuba and immersed himself in a 150-plus-year-old culture of rural, riffbased, foot-stomping, largely improvised music.

Through his journey into changui music, he recorded these musicians in their homes, backyards, and porches. The results are three and a half hours of music played for the sole purpose of making listeners dance ‘til they drop.
