Cubano

Cubano is a style of music that originated in Cuba. It is a blend of African and Spanish influences, combining elements of jazz, salsa, mambo, rumba, cha cha, and other Latin American styles. Cubano is often used to refer to Cuban-style music, but it can also refer to a variety of Cuban styles, including son cubano, salsa cubana, timba, and rumba. Cubano has a long and complex history, tracing its roots back to the music of enslaved Africans and their descendants in Cuba. Its influence can be heard in many genres of Latin American music today.
