TROVA y CUBA

VA - Treasure Trova, Viejo y nuevo (A Butterboy Compilation) CD1+CD2+CD3

Trova music, originating in Cuba during the late 19th century, is a musical genre characterized by poetic lyrics and guitar-based accompaniment. It is known for its political and social commentary, frequently addressing issues such as love, loss, poverty, and social injustice. Over time, the genre has evolved, and new styles and sub-genres have emerged.  One such sub-genre is nuevo trova, which emerged in the 1960s as a form of protest music. Nueva trova lyrics often address political and social issues, reflecting the turbulent times of the Cuban revolution. This sub-genre became an important cultural movement in Cuba, and its music is still highly respected in Cuban culture today.

Trovadores, the musicians who perform trova music, are also highly respected in Cuban culture. They are known for their lyrical and musical skills, and their performances often involve intricate guitar playing and emotive singing.

The roots of trova music can be traced back to the Spanish troubadour tradition, which was popular in Cuba during the 19th century. Cuban musicians and poets began adapting this tradition, blending it with African and indigenous influences to create a distinct Cuban style of music. Musicians such as Sindo Garay, Manuel Corona, and María Teresa Vera helped to popularize trova music in the early 20th century, and it has continued to evolve over time, with new sub-genres and styles emerging.

Trova music remains an important part of Cuban culture, and it continues to be popular both in Cuba and internationally. Its poetic lyrics and emotive melodies have touched the hearts of many, and its social and political commentary has made it a voice for change and social justice. (B)
