CUBADISCO 2015 NOMINEES 
(DVD & VIDEO CATEGORIES)

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 the DVD and video categories, there are additional pages for CDs and the technical awards.  RED = WINNER

As a special extra, we have added a few related 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.   

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  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 and CIDMUC, without whose help this would not be possible.
