Songs and versions

AM Cassettes: PM goes back to the beginning and brings together our editorial board: Darsi Fernández, Diana Ferreiro, Rafa G. Escalona, Lorena Sánchez and Rafael Valdivia talk in this sixth episode about the mystery of songs and their versions, and what is that strange substance that prefer one over the other.

What is the experience of the listener when facing the version of a song? Are there artists so spectacular that no one will ever be able to cover them? Is there little versioning in Cuba? Do we call any new interpretation of a pre-existing song covers, or do we distinguish them from covers? Those are some of the questions our editors ask themselves, as they navigate the deep rivers of music.

Before inviting them to press Play, a final fact: Diana is the intellectual author of this delivery, whose story began one day with Marco Antonio Solís and continued in Mon Laferte. You can find out why if you decide to join us in the next 45 minutes.
