The New Sounds of the Revolution (1960 - 1989)
The show continues the series of Cuban music that started with the "Sabor Añejo" show made last year in July 2022.
This new Cuban programme is about the years of the revolution in the sixties, seventies and eighties. The music includes diverse genres and styles from traditional Son to modern Jazz Funk music but also new styles created in those years in Cuba like Mozambique, Songo or Nueva Trova.
In addition, Cuban doo Wop with the group Los Zafiro. This band became popular in the sixties in Western countries such as France, where they played on the same bill as the Beatles in Paris. Irakere, Los Vanvan and Orquesta Aragón with the songwriter music of Pablo Milanes and Silvio Rodriguez, the jazzer Gonzalo Rubalcaba and the Sonero Adalberto Alvarez are some of the most remarkable artists included in the selection.

Jazz Matters
Jazz Matters is a not-for-profit hobby project that I’m extremely proud of.
It began life in May 2021 as NuDirections, a weekly radio show on a London community station. That spirit of discovery still runs through everything I do.
But today, Jazz Matters has evolved into a global podcast platform for Jazz and World music lovers — reaching over 40,000 open-minded listeners across 57 countries on more than 24 platforms.2025/6 marks a new era. My love of music has always gone beyond Jazz, so I’ve created two distinct but connected spaces here
Jazz Matters: Podcasts, Playlists and Music Videos.
Jazz Lines: Blogs, Interviews, Gallery & Pulse for Who's Shaping the Scene.
I’m also preparing a full digital relaunch from my new studio, from 1st May 2026, then every Jazz Matters podcast, mix, and special will stream exclusively from my website—no third-party platforms and no algorithms. Until then, you can listen here and on 24+ podcast platforms.
Alongside the music, you’ll find in Jazz Lines, my platform for blogs, interviews, gallery, and pulse that links to things that catch my ear and eye. A bold new chapter begins soon. New location. New music player. New studio.
Jazz Matters. Because the music — and everything around it — truly does.
Enjoy the music I love
