Vincenzo Perna investigates the role of black popular music in post-Revolutionary Cuba, in the 1990s in particular, analyzing the emergence of timba as a distinctively new style of Afro-Cuban dance music. Musically, timba represents an innovative fusion of previous popular and folkloric Afro-Cuban styles with elements of hip-hop and other African-American styles like jazz, funk and salsa. Timba articulates a black urban youth subculture with distinctive visual and choreographic codes.
