Welcome! The montealto archive is an ongoing project that started in Jan 2020 with the goal of presenting an organized, easy-to-share record of songs and other works by a group of Cuban creatives of the 1950s - 80s. You'll find an exhaustive collection of lyrics, music sheets and origin stories, along with video or audio performances. This is some of the greatest music I've had the privilege to hear and organize - material that oppressive forces tried to snuff out, but never could and never will. Once available, please check them out and feel free to share with your friends.
