Coexistence and paternity of more than 70 musical genres have transformed Cuba into the Island of Music. Son, mambo, changuí, salsa, feeling, and cha cha chá, are some of the rhythms which Cubans have bequeathed to the world. The cultural traditions of the country and especially these have arrived to the most secret corners of the world.
