We look on the musical thought history to understand a more complex social phenomena, related to the central concepts of this essay: African legacy, transnational circulation, and cultural adaptation. Life histories of Cuban musicians, Consejo Valiente Roberts “acerina” and Dámaso Pérez Prado, give us important elements to associate the cultural circulation phenomena to migration.
