The Cuban dance style Danzon traces its origins to the Spanish contradanza, itself a product of English country dancing of the 16th century. Upon the contradanza's arrival in Cuba during the 18th century, it quickly rose to prominence as the island's national dance. At the close of the 19th century, the Cuban contradanza became freer and more spontaneous, giving way to its evolution into the danzon; originally played by brass bands ("tipicas"), by the 1920s performances were dominated by charangas, ensembles featuring violin, cello, piano, guiro, clarinet, flute, bass, and double drums. By the late '30s, the danzon had given birth to the mambo.
Gorgeous melody in the style of the Guatemalan marimba bands of Chapín, in the indigenous Son Chapín rhythm. Grab your partner and dance! Instrumental, Tropical, Danzon
Strong well defined rhythm with lush orchestral strings and percussion. Classical with a contemporary edge. Sustained simple percussion led throughout but does not get in the way of the bold melody line of the strings. Very beautiful and sensous track for latin film or soundtrack The mood is create, Instrumental, Tropical, Danzon
This song, from Roger's solo CD, "To Dream...To Dance", is a love song in the style of the great old Cuban ballads, a style with which Sting had great success in his ballad work of the '90's. It's a nod in that direction musically, and a personal statement lyrically. Male Vocals, Tropical, Danzon
