Artist Bio: 

What was once an isle of forbidden pleasure is now forbidden in a less romantic sense, at least to us U.S. citizens. But the tropical birthplace of so much of the world's music; mambo and son, sure, but also soukous, salsa, zouk and rock'n' roll hardly languished under our Trading With the Enemy Act.

Are politics our enemy? Are governments our enemy? Can music be our enemy? Can communists have a good time? Can we have a good time? Is a music communist? Can it be capitalist? Do you enjoy it either way?
