We’ll describe briefly an introduction to Cuban music,and various music styles prevailing in Cuba

Rumba and Jazz: Belonging of the Africans beats and drums, it appeared in the later part of the seventeen century subsequent to  the abolition of slavery.

The industrial activity among the community of New Orleans and Havana appeared to be very intense throughout the 1800. As a result, the rumba arrived at New Orleans and Cuba received the jazz.

The Cuban bolero is played in all sorts of ensembles and is an popular genre throughout Latin-America.

Salsa:

Today salsa is the modern version of the clasic old rhythms of Cuban son, actually the most known cuban rhythms danced in many Western countries, with many followers.  The original son bands was first trios made up of claves, maracas and guitar. in the 1920′s, son orchestras grew to incorporated tres & bongos. the standard son was a pair of vocals one playing claves the other maracas.   Son montuno ended up being merged by using additional Latin music styles, like mambo as well as rumba, to create modern salsa music, now extremely famous all over Latin as well as the Hispanic community. The melody element plus the estribillo or montuno part would be the 2 elements that construct the actual music in the son. This montuno portion is definitely the significant part within the son; its content has the vocal as well as musical improvisations. Several of this musical instruments that perform improvisations can be the tres (the 3 stringed acoustic guitar), bongo, bass, and trumpet.

Several modern dances have developed over time because of the son, Like, mambo, the salsa, and the cha-cha, that happens to be 20th century ballroom dances.

Cuba have long been considered a Catholic country because of its colonial history by the spaniards. However Cuba is a spiritual cocktail. Christian beliefs were intruduced by the colonists men in the 16th Century. Throughout all this tme, Cuba’s religious have been change a lot.

The colonists contributed their own beliefs, Catholicism,due to the decline of the local native population, began the arrival of slaves from Africa to assistance in the domestic job and farms work,They facilitated the path for the upcoming of beliefs belonging to the African continent.

After that in the 19th Century, protestant and evangelic religions coming from the U.S.A were show in the area, also other beliefs that have characterized Cuba’s religious scenario.

A significant amount of people in Cuba follow a religion that is a merge of African and Christian religions. The roots of this faith came from the period when Africans wouldn’t practice their particular religion. As an alternative, they ingeniously merge their African religious beliefs with Christian ritual in order to look like in from of their Catholic owners that they were converted to the religion of their masters. Over time the concealed nature of the religion became lost and disciples of this faith in Cuba observed the Christian symbolism and practices a part of their religion.

Catholic churchs are calculated in the country in less than a hundred,betwen the first ones you can find the Paules, Dominicans, Jesuits, Franciscans, escolapios and capuchins,Female religious communities conduct humanitarian assignment that includes the caring of sick, aged or disable people in diverse institutions

Generally known as worships of African origin or Afro Cuban religions largely manifest in Cuba, Santeria o Regla de Ocha or Yoruba religion, Regla Arara Regla Conga o Palo Monte, and the secret society of Abakua.

Coming from Yoruba, an initial ethnic of Nigeria, Santeria o Regla de Ocha was initially characterized by the worship to orishas (saints). In their origins they idealized the power of mother nature, such as the formation of rivers, or thunder anger, that got to identify with deities that were warriors or cured illnesses and they were represented as saints.

As African people were being acquainted with Catholic churches, slaves found resemblance with their orishas, but they were forced to disguise them as a way to honor their gods.

The highest hierarchy is ruled by Babalaos besides existing other active believers as the babalochas, iyalochas and orishas. Specialists contemplate the worship of African origin far more complex that the one existing in the country and which usually is kept in a bigger number of original elements.

The Yorubas got the theory of a creator, which can be compare it with the God of Catholics, this god is usually called Olofi.

From all over Africa, slaves were introduced from society identified as Bantu, language, whose beliefs brought foundation to Regla Conga or Palo Monte, inspired in the forces of nature and that says how the super natural sits on nature in the wilds. It is the religious beliefs of the called paleros and uses Catholic altars and rituals like baptism, blessed water and masses. At the same time it is mixed with black magic.

From these beliefs we can uncover various branches in the country, which include: Mayombe, Briyumba and Kimbisa.

Emerging out of Calabar, between the Nigeria area and Cameroon, there emerged the carabalies, They created a secret society for males “Abakua”, as their norms recall sustain societies or mutual support. They have a routine using an African touch that consists of songs and dances, along with catholic elements.
