CULTURAL CONNECTIONS IN CUBA

Cuba's history is one of great conflict and represents the ultimate power struggle between East and West. Even though political and economic stability has never and may never be fully achieved, the Cuban people have managed to keep the spirit of their rich culture alive through the triumphs and tribulations. Cuba has a rich culture which is largely an amalgamation of African and Spanish influences. The most prominent aspects are by far its music and art.

Cuban music is known the world over for its lively and exciting pulsating rhythms driving many to their feet. it encompasses a great deal of percussion which is a direct reference to the country's African heritage and several types of string instruments including their guitar. Cuban music has also been basis for other genres including salsa, jazz, and the tango. Cuban art displays a clear blend between African and European styles, evolving through many phrases from Vanguardian to more modernist and contemporary pallets. Art was heavily involved in the political situation from the 1960's onwards with many used as propaganda pieces advocating from the revolution.
