Jazz Cubano form the backbone of 'much broader universe of Latin Jazz and is characterized by rhythms combined with jazz melodies and progressions of stringed instruments. The Latin influences have begun to merge with the background music in the United States in 1930. Some Latin dances like salsa and merengue continue to feel its influence today.
Latin music has its own unique sound. The eight notes are played straight, do not swing like the other styles of jazz but syncopated. A wide variety of Latin percussion supports the creation of musical orchestras. The Congas, which are of Afro-Cuban origin are played with the palms of the hands and fingers, even the Bongos are Afro-Cubans, but they are taller and thinner. Other common tools are timbales, claves and bells.
The Cuban Jazz, simplifying a lot, is a mixture between the Jazz and the Son, one of its interpreters remember Mario Bauza, world-class trumpeter who emigrated to the United States in the thirties. The Cuban Jazz has the merit of to enter into any modern jazz orchestra percussion Cuban of African descent. Among its leading exponents include Chucho Valdes, Arturo Sandoval, the group Irakere, Bareto Guillermo, Emiliano Salvador and Chano Pozo. ... but the list can go on forever.
