Al Jourgensen belongs to the musical record as a figure whose work outlasted the moment that produced it.
The record lists Al Jourgensen as Cuban-American musician.
Al Jourgensen was born at Havana in 1958. His recorded nationality is Cuba. He trained at University of Illinois Chicago and University of Northern Colorado.
Amplification, television and the album as an art form defined this period, and the record industry reached its greatest scale.
He worked as singer, music executive and banjoist.
The instruments recorded are guitar and voice.
His work is classed as industrial metal.
He performed with Ministry.
Music outlives its context more reliably than any other art, and usually for reasons its makers did not predict.
That the work came out of Cuba shaped it: musical traditions, training institutions and the reach of a recording industry all differ by country.
