Radio Cuba Canta presents a 4-hour documentary and 100th Birthday Tribute to the life, music and genius of Arsenio Rodriguez.

Part of the international Centennial Tribute to Arsenio Rodriguez this weekend, this historic broadcast is a special tribute to the creative genius responsible for influencing many artists of today in the “Salsa,” Latin Jazz, and the music of Cuba itself, even today. Often compared to Louis Armstrong, Arsenio Rodriguez, was responsible for creating essential elements of the Mambo, years before Perez Prado brought the Mambo to worldwide audience.

We present rare recordings, historical viewpoints by Rene Lopez, David Garcia, Bobby Sanabria and Orlando Maraca Valle, and an interview with Arsenio himself recorded in the early 1960s.

Tonight we focus on the DVD “Maestra” by Catherine Murphy and offer it as a premium to listeners for renewing or subscribing to KPFA. This film is food for the spirit. It will bring you UP and broaden your view of history.

• Maestra is about how in the summer of 1961 100, 000 Cuban teenagers, most of them girls, went into the Cuban countryside to teach people to read. Maestra documents this amazing literacy movement that taught an entire country to read and write. It documents the process of how the lives a generation of Cuban women were deeply transformed. Maestra captures the element of joy and creativity that characterizes revolutionary change. We feature a panel discussion with the filmmaker Catherine Murphy discussing how and why she made this inspiring, upbeat film.
