My guest on this show is Ned Sublette. Ned is an American composer, musician, record producer, musicologist, historian, and author. Sublette studied Spanish Classical Guitar with Hector Garcia at the University of New Mexico and with Emilio Pujol in Spain.  He has written many critically acclaimed books. Most notably Cuba and Its Music: From the First Drums to the Mambo. This book and The American Slave coast has given me a much deeper understanding of the influence of the great sin, Slavery, on our musical heritage.

Ned Sublette is the author of The World That Made New Orleans. Ned take us on a tour of his book that explores many of the outside influences that have helped make New Orleans culture what it is today. Ned focuses a great deal on the Cuban and Haitian connections. "The embargo of Cuba was an embargo of New Orleans", Ned says. He also touches on the French and Spanish influences on the Crescent City and shares some interesting facts and insights about the Mardi Gras Indians.
