Moore and Manuel

Moore and Manuel discuss Cuban music from the time of the Cuban revolution until now. Moore focus of the devolopment of music in Cuban. Directly after the Cuban revolution and introduction of Communism, Cuban artists and musicians had unlimited creative freedom, but this period soon came to an end with the destruction of major capitalist businesses like the casinos and the infiltration of government into all things artistic. Although artist were well-supported, their work was solely composed for the government. Provision by the government were reduced to none at all with the fall of the soviet union. This led Cuba into regaining some capitalist characteristics for money. Manuel discusses the development of salsa in the U.S. (Cuban reaction was timbales). Wrongful copyright practices were numerous during this period with the cut-off of Cuban artists from the U.S. Aren't these practices exemplary of many wrongful copyright crimes against minorities in the U.S. music industry during this period, both African Americans and Cuban Americans?
