Imaginary Cuba

Album by Bill Laswell

Imaginary Cuba is an album by Bill Laswell that collages field recordings from Cuba—percussion ensembles, chants and street sounds—into dub- and ambient-influenced constructions. It is centred on Afro-Cuban ritual and folk traditions, blending on-location tapes with studio manipulation and bass-heavy production.
