Cristobal Diaz Ayala was interested in the musical presence of the State of Florida in recordings, he made a list of what would be considered âFlorida Topicsâ like the: name of Florida itself, its cities and towns, symbols, as well as native performers, composers, groups, orchestras, record labels, among others. For the past five years, he has been researching discographies of more than 200 different American recording companies, from 1898 to the 1960s. Using these and other sources, he was able to find and catalog more than 3,500 items related to Florida recorded by various performers. Diaz Ayala donated to FIU the intellectual work he developed for this project as well as the audio recordings he collected.
