Inhaltsangabe

Havana, 1932, and greengrocer Matias Castro, father of 13 children, is bankrupt. Cuchito, his eldest daughter, has the idea of starting an all-girl orchestra to bring in some cash. Jazz, mambo, rumba, cha-cha-cha, Latin jazz - 'Anacaona' perform every evening in local street cafes. In no time at all they conquer their audiences' hearts with their infectious music and cheeky lyrics. Alicia Castro, the author of this extraordinary memoir, played saxophone and later led the orchestra. Now in her 80s, Alicia looks back on the scintillating world that she and her sisters inhabited: their international breakthrough, concerts in Paris, New York and appearances with all the jazz greats.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Alicia Castro was born in 1920 in Havana, Cuba and was playing with Anacaona by the age of 12. The band retired in 1989. Alicia lives with two of her sisters in the Lawton district of Havana. Her memoir of the band emerged from conversations with her niece, Ingrid Kummels (the daughter of Anacaona's drummer, Milo).
