Recorded at an ancient Benedictine monastery in Ganna, Italy, Cantos Yoruba de Cuba is a 2025 release from guitarist Walter Zanetti that draws deeply from Afro-Cuban musical traditions. The album reinterprets a suite originally composed by Angulo in the late 1960s, alongside pieces written by Navarro and dictated to Zanetti during his time in Cuba.
The result is a richly textured guitar record that bridges pointillist plucking with flowing legato passages, tracing the deep connections between Spanish and Cuban musical forms — from flamenco's rasgueado finger strumming to the rhythmic energy of rumba and conga. For fans of Afro-Cuban jazz and world music, this is a thoughtful and atmospheric release that feels both scholarly and genuinely soulful.
