Cantos Yoruba de Cuba is a remarkable exploration of Afro-Cuban sacred music translated through the timbral intimacy of the classical guitar. Basing his work on compositions by the Cuban guitarists and composers José Ángel Navarro and Héctor Angulo, Zanetti recreates the spiritual essence of the batá songs of Santería, the Afro-Cuban syncretic religion. His arrangements preserve the ritual meaning of the original batá rhythms while revealing new harmonic and melodic possibilities inherent to these ancient songs.
