Zurbano has authored multiple books addressing topics such as racial politics, music, and Black writers in the Caribbean and Latin America. He

founded the Pichon Haitien project, a community of Cuban-Haitian descendants located in eastern Havana. Zurbano has been awarded the Order for National Culture and has twice received the National Prize for Cultural Journalism. He currently works at Casa de las Americas in Havana, Cuba.
