My forthcoming book is now on pre-order at Amazon

I am a writer and independent scholar/researcher who has published widely on Cuban music and society. I am trained as an ethnomusicologist (think: the study of music in the context of culture), and my research has primarily been ethnographic and used the following methods: participant-observation, interviews, audio-visual and written documentation. I continue to write about Cuba-related themes, but am also working on a number of essays related to American popular culture (tv/film/music), race, and representation. I am also a freelance editor and Spanish translator, offering a range of client services. View all posts by Rebecca Bodenheimer
