Music of the Cubans Described as Harsh and Primitive
The Detroit Prep Press ridicules Cuban music as a savage preference for a crude band. It mocks a crank piano, sugar kettle drums, and a giro tool, likening the sound to teeth dislocation. The piece condemns the Cuban national hymn and dance as inharmonic and childish, claiming Cubans must relearn music.
