Afro-cuban Percussion
Afro-Cuban percussion is a vibrant genre rooted in the fusion of African rhythms and Cuban musical traditions. Characterized by intricate polyrhythms, dynamic syncopation, and rich, textured sounds from instruments like congas, bongos, timbales, and claves, this genre is essential in Afro-Cuban music, particularly in rumba, mambo, and salsa. Artists like Tito Puente and Mongo Santamaria highlight the genre's energy and complexity, often integrating jazz influences, while groups such as Rumbatá and Rumberos de Cuba emphasize its folkloric and communal aspects. The genre's infectious rhythms and improvisational nature make it a cornerstone of Latin American musical identity.
