1975-85 Vol. 1 is a new album compiled by Gilles Peterson and Stuart Baker (Soul
Jazz Records) that explores the many new styles that emerged in Cuba in the 1970s
as Jazz, Funk, Brazilian Tropicalia and even Disco mixed together with Latin and
Salsa on the island as Cuban artists experimented with new musical forms created
in the unique socialist state.
