The Buena Vista Social Club has *belatedly* exposed traditional Cuban music and its long-neglected stars to worldwide audiences.

Could anyone use "belatedly" in a sentence?

thanks

the bvs club was exposed much later (maybe years) than they should have been, or longer than someone thinks it should be.

in this case, the writer of this article made belatedly an adjective when it is usually used as a past tense noun.

hope that helps...iitimone7
