Research Notes

Notes

An EGREM LP (LD-3896, Sept 1980) issued as a musical homage to the first joint Cuban-Soviet crewed spaceflight (Soyuz-38, 18–26 Sept 1980; Romanenko and Tamayo Méndez; 7th Intercosmos mission). The back-cover dedication frames the flight, in paraphrase, as a triumph of Marxism-Leninism and proletarian internationalism and Cuba's entry into the "conquest of space for peace." The roster places major Cuban artists — Silvio Rodríguez, Los Van Van (Juan Formell), Las D'Aida, Osvaldo Rodríguez (Los 5 U 4), Juan Pablo Torres — in service of a state-celebrated geopolitical milestone, blending nueva trova and popular dance music.
