First, because I did not planned to watch them and second because Luyano Band is characterized for mixing the native Cuban music with jazz and this interested combination make me be proud of the Cuban culture.

The song Now in Our Lives is more relaxed and romantic compared to his other quick, strong be-bop songs. The majority of the song consists of low, sluggish melodies. However, there are many parts throughout the song that have many fast notes played. There are quite a few changes in rhythm throughout the piece which stimulates the piece. There’s a nice piano, bass and drum accompaniment that help to establish the laid-back feel of the music.
A local DJ called Livin' Proof started his set to begin the night, to be followed by rising British artist Loyle Carner, and finally the main act Joey Bada$$ and Kirk Knight supported by legendary DJ Statik Selektah. Statik Selektah played a small set of a couple of songs before playing Joey's instrumentals to allow him to perform. The music was meant for different things.

Cuban music such as son (pronounced "sown"), guaracha, mambo, bolero and chachacha were very popular. Each of these music styles had (and still has) its own dance In New York musicians began mixing the music with jazz and it was called "Latin jazz" for many, many years. Or in many cases the musicians would put the name of the ryhthm of each inidvidual song on the record.
Jazz became so popular during these times, because life in America back than was rough for a lot of people. Some jazz was sung about these problems and how people dealt with them and their opinions on life. Other types of jazz were played to bring excitement to people’s everyday lives and give them a time where they could dance and enjoy life. One of the first types of jazz that contributed a lot to the jazz we know today was ragtime. Ragtime was big during the late 1800’s to the early 1900’s and originated in the southern United States.
Son was exported to the rest of the world during the 1930s and 1940s and became particularly popular in the United States, also providing the grounds for the creation of salsa music in the 1970s. The music however began to decline in popularity before the 1997 album, “The Buena Vista Social Club” named after the famous Havana nightclub, was released. The album inspired resurgence in son music outside of the country and an opportunity for the world to revisit
In the early twentieth century, it is commonly believed jazz evolved into a popular music style in New Orleans. Small bands would play gigs and perform ragtime music with a blues twist, relying heavily on improvisation. Jazz during this time began combining marching band instruments added with the ragtime blues mix, and eventually became what we see jazz as today. In 1917, The Original Dixieland Jass Band made the first jazz recording with Lively Stable Blues. In that same year, jazz recordings became a lot more popular, and in the following year, jazz was taken to Europe by James Reese Europe and his “Hellfighters” band.
With many Africans settling into the beautiful landscape of Jamaica, new musical dawns were on the horizon. While enslaved, Africans developed a new form of music and dance which was known as Mento. Mento remained popular until the 1940s, however, during the early 50s, popular music in Jamaica was usually of US origin. In the late 1950s “Ska” another Jamaican musical innovation emerged. In the mid 60s”Rock Steady”-a slower tempo with emphasis on syncopation-grew out of “Ska”.
