A rich amalgamation of Spanish folk music and African rhythms, Cuban music has had an amazing influence on the world - the roots of salsa, Latin jazz and the romantic bolero can all be traced back to this tiny island in the Caribbean! The intoxicating rhythms of the cha-cha-cha, mambo and rumba first made their way off the island in the 1950s. These exciting and exuberant sounds literally shook up the international music scene and everyone around the world was hooked. With the 1959 Cuban revolution and the consequent US trade embargo, the music of the Cubans continues to evolve within and provides a rich insight into a country that stays true to itself.
