The Music of Cuba

For being such a small, isolated island country, Cuba has greatly influenced
Latin music. As with the musical traditions of North America, Cubas musical
influences began with the rhythms of Africa due to the many slaves who
worked the sugar and tobacco plantations. African rhythm combined with the
cultural influences of Spanish folk music especially guitar music and
created unique, stylized sounds. As a broad category, this music is referred to
as Afro-Cuban, and it includes the rumba, jazz, salsa, son Cubano, mambo,
cha-cha-cha and the conga. Current music includes Cuban hip-hop, which is
enjoyed by the countrys young people.
