Watch this fascinating video with Cuban jazz pianist Elio Villafranca. Villafranca discusses his origins, his Cuban upbringing, and the 'Caribbean tinge' that is part of jazz's history. Instead of calling it 'Spanish tinge' like Jelly Roll Morton, Villafranca assertively reclaims jazz's broader pan-Caribbean origins. For more, check out "Caribbean Tinge" from Villafranca's band.
