And for anyone that's not up on it, here's a great book to accompany the listening experience:
The body of Cuban poster art is astonishing! People go to Cuba and they buy rum and cigars. The odd person buys records. But the real heat are the posters, about $10US each and all unexpectedly high quality prints. Some of them are just brilliant.
On a related note, the national art gallery in Havana was very good, far better than I imagined. There is some really interesting pre-revolutionary Cuban art.
