Afro-Cubano style, which incorporates two other islands. And for a time one of those islands seemed as much "Russian" as "American". Comprendes? But I digress...
For this round, I came up with the theme title
"The Culturalization of (a) Rock."
Please pardon the pun. You can interpret those five words any way you like, 'coz I
intend it to mean at least two different things.

1. The "Rock" is the Americas (all of it), and it's also the Music (all of it).
2. The other implication is not so kind.
Can a rock be cultured at all?
But Yes! Indeed it can! (By
some definition anyway.) And here I might mention (for starters) a certain legendary cadre from Chicago, visiting New Orleans, singing about some other island(s) called the Bahamas.....
