Guaracha

Guaracha is a fast-paced, danceable genre of Cuban music that originated in the mid-1800s. It is often characterized by its quick and upbeat rhythms, light lyrics, and its frequent use of Latin instruments such as the guiro and the maracas. Guaracha is typically accompanied by a combination of claves, maracas, and congas. It has been influenced by both African and Spanish music, and is closely associated with the Son and Rumba genres. Guaracha has been popular in Cuba since the 19th century, and has since spread to other parts of Latin America, the Caribbean, and the United States.
