Cuba at 50.
BBC World Service has a tremendous programme, Brand Cuba:
“In Brand Cuba, Allan Little analyses some of the factors that have kept Cuba alive in the public imagination over such a long period.
From the iconic images of Fidel Castro and Che Guevara, and the five decade-long stand-off between Cuba and the United States, to an exploration of Cuba’s military exploits in Southern Africa, and the island’s unique approach to diplomacy through medical aid.”
An MP3 of the programme is here.
Also see Charlie Gillett on Cuban music.
