History:
Cuban Son is the root of the salsa. It is a musical style that originated in the Oriente province in the eastern part of Cuba, and was accepted with much enthusiasm throughout the island after the success of the “Danzón”, Cuba’s national dance, traditionally found in upper class social clubs. Son combines the influence of two musical cultures, Spanish and African, into a modern style of music many refer to as Afro-Cuban. One of the foundations of Son is the rhythm know as “clave”.
