Part of that magic formula is the rigorous musical education Cuban musicians receive from an early age, trained not only in their instruments, but also in the theory, history and culture of music. Yilian says music in Cuba is not just studied - it’s lived. It’s part of everyday life, woven into the culture, the streets, and the rhythms people grow up with. That constant presence shapes musicians in a way that’s unique to the island. 👉 Join our Patreon to watch the full interview and support independent journalism from Cuba.
