This source describes the Nueva trova movement in Latin music, which is a major component of Xiomara Laugart's career. It describes the Cuban music revolution from the mid 60's through the mid 90's, and profiles the artists involved in the movement. Furthermore, I feel that a valuable aspect to this article is that it links the music revolution to the larger social revolution of the Cuban government. The source is a peer-reviewed article, a secondary source, and was published by the journal of Ethnomusicology, ergo I feel that the source is reliable to provide sufficient information regarding this movement and Laugart's role in it.

This article is similar to the first in that it is also a peer-reviewed secondary source published in an established journal. I feel that it provides different insights into the same Nueva trova movement as described above, which again, the major movement that Laugart was involved in throughout her musical career. The date of publication for this article, 1981, does concern me, as the Nueva trova movement did not come to conclusion until the mid 90's, however I do plan to supplement this material with other articles that outline critical events after the early 80's.

This is a book that describes the music of Cuba, and the influence of Cuban musicians on the evolution of Latin music. There is a section that does discuss Languart and her impact as a performer in Cuba, however I will need to gain access to the entire book through the University to read this section. Furthermore, this book does utilize first-person narratives, however there are also chapters that qualify as secondary sources, and these are the ones that I plan to use in my Wikipedia research.
