Cuba lleva más de un siglo exportando música de calidad: la habanera, hija predilecta de la contradanza, fue la primera en hacer las maletas. Luego, otros ritmos cubanos han invadido el mundo: el son, la guaracha, la rumba, el bolero, el mambo y el chachacha. ¿Como se explica esta extraordinaria vitalidad musical? En la isla la sensualidad impregno la atmosfera y convirtio al pueblo en receptor y manantial de musica, creando una cultura pelvica especial. La totalidad organica que identifica musicalmente al pueblo cubano, tanto en la isla como desde el exilio, es la historia de intrincadisimas transculturaciones, que en ocasiones presentan ciertas afinidades en sus lenguajes musicales, asi como verdaderas diferencias de forma, contenido y funcion. Libre de todo prejuicio amordazador, Origenes de la musica cubana presenta un analisis historico de las relaciones que han existido entre Cuba y España, los amores de las cuerdas y el tambor, en todo aquello que ha tenido que ver con el desarrollo de un perfil musical unico. Melodias y ritmos que infinidad de interpretes divulgaron por varios continentes, regalando su contagiosa alegria.

Desde los inicios del siglo XVIII la ciudad de Jaca cobra un nuevo protagonismo social y cultural en las relaciones entre Francia y España, convirtiéndose en un baluarte especialmente privilegiado por la nueva Corona. Pese a las graves consecuencias de la supresion de los Fueros de la Corona de Aragon, Jaca recibio ciertos privilegios politicos que favorecieron el crecimiento artistico y musical, lo que, entre otras cosas, se tradujo en la intensa actividad de su capilla de musica catedralicia, abierta a las novedades del exterior al tiempo que se despojaba de tradiciones heredadas del siglo anterior. Es asi como el villancico acabo por convertirse en el punto de confluencia de tradiciones, innovaciones y nuevas tecnicas de composicion, de lo que ha quedado testimonio en un rico archivo musical en cuyos fondos bucea el presente estudio.
