CUBADISCO 2015 NOMINEES WITH VIDEO LINKS AND REVIEWS!
(MUSIC CATEGORIES, CD)
At a special Gala at the Cabaret Tropicana in Havana Cuba on April 30, the nominees for Cubadisco 2015 were announced. Several special awards (including the international prizes) are always announced later in the process, but this list contains the general musical categories. This page is for CDs, there are additional pages for video, DVD and the technical awards. RED = WINNER
As a special extra, we have added some video links when they are available in order to help introduce you to some of these artists. Many North Americans who are unfamiliar with the range of music that is being recorded in Cuba will be surprised at the scope, and we strongly encourage you to share this page with anyone who still has a stereotypical view of music in Cuba. We did not include links that looked like they might be "pirate" links, but in some instances where video related to the recording was unavailable, we at times did include another video by an artist that is illustrative of their style but not part of the nominated album along with the occasional interview clip and other surprises.
Over time, we will also be adding reviews of more of these recordings. A link is included to those which are already published. This is a work in progress and will be updated in the future.
A special note regarding the album covers and video links: If it appears that Bis Music has many more links and photos than the other labels, this is because Bis currently has a much more robust presence on the web than EGREM or Colibrí, and it is much easier to find information from Bis on the Internet at the moment. This is not a reflection of the relative quality of the music among the labels.
Many thanks to Lourdes Martínez and Iliana Pérez, the Instituto Cubano de la Música y CIDMUC, without whose help this would not be possible.
