As I did with my first book Cuban Music: From the Areíto to the New Song Movement, this book is dedicated to my parents, who imbued me with a love for music, and our composers and musical artists, the group of Cubans who have made the most significant contributions to our island after the patriots and martyrs of our history.
As for acknowledgements, my deepest thanks to Marisa, my companion of more than fifty years (counting years of courtship), aside from being a direct collaborator on this and other music projects. She has made many suggestions, corrected proofs, and in many instances instructed me on proper (hers) or improper (mine) usage of Spanish; to my mother, children and grandchildren who have been robbed of my time by my work on this and other projects. To my secretary Joselin Mercado for her dedication and effort in computerizing this extensive body of work, and to my daughter (also Marisa) for lending a hand when that mysterious device we call a computer misbehaved. And also to Richard K. Spottswood, who with his work Ethnic Music on Records- A Discography of Ethnic Recordings Produced in the United States, 1893 to 1942 is responsible for my taking on this project, extensively drawing on his work and experience, and thereby making him an accomplice as well.
This electronic version of the Discography was unveiled to the public on October 29, 2003 as part of the activities of the V Congress of Cuban and Cuban American Studies that took place at Florida International University, Miami, FL. Numerous artits, musicians and singers, and/or their families were present and in many instances corrected or added information to theirs and others biografies. Among the attendees were Jorge Bauer, María Ciérvide, Emilita Dago, Chamaco García, Enrique Herrera, José Le Matt, Zenaida Manfugás, Luis Santí, Hortensia Coalla's daughter, Orestes Duarte, Germán García, the family of Gonzalo Roig, Olga María Touzet, Marion Inclán, Elena Díaz ,Carlos Díaz' widow, María Antonio Junco, Pedro Junco's daughter. It was a touching and memorable event.
And thanks to the long list of collaborators where inevitably there will be omissions, and, in advance, we declare our guilt and ask forgiveness. In the case of artists and composers included in this work, these friends have collaborated with personal interviews or correspondence, in many instances revising and correcting their own discographies and even by sending recordings or photos we didn't previously have. We also acknowledge and thank collectionsists who have filled in information on records of their respective record libraries, and supplied us with photos and information on performers. Still others have collaborated by obtaining addresses or by taking and/or bringing back information from Cuba or other countries, sometimes at difficult moments. The previously mentioned record labels also made available pertinent data from their archives, and in some cases, generously gave us recordings in order to complete our study, or allowed us to use photos from album covers.
To all, especially the Unknown Collaborator, whose name eludes us and to whom we again ask forgiveness, many thanks. In this November 2008 update, we have added new collaborators to the original list.
