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.

Natives, who had their own highly developed musical traditions, quickly mastered European musical practices. African music was also brought to Mexico during the early colonial period. With all the sweet sounds of the violins against the brilliance of the trumpets, and the deep sound of the guitarro, the resulting sound is the heart and soul of Mexico. It is important to remember Mariachi music- is not just music to be played and sung. From the very start it was music to be danced.
In doing this they created a synergy with the live entertainment industry that got consumers to buy sheet music as well as tickets to live entertainment acts. This tradition of selling a song and not necessarily the artist is now known as the Tin Pan Alley tradition. The musicians that put Tin Pan Alley on the map are names that most of us will recognize as legends of their time. Some of the names inducted into The Songwriters hall of fame include: Duke Ellington and Scott Joplin recognized for their contributions to ragtime, jazz, swing, big band and the 12-bar progression that has
The articles “The Buena Vista Social Club” by Tanya Katerí Hernandez and “Globalisation and the Tango” by Chris Goertzen and María Susana Azzi have both discussed the issue of the globalisation of Latin American music and how it is portrayed in foreign countries. Cuban son music emerged in the country during the 1910s and by 1930 had gained worldwide success. This style of music, a blend of Spanish canción, Spanish guitar and African rhythms and played in the clave rhythm, provided a key symbol of Afro-Cuban culture and identity while also heavily influencing other musicians and music genres. It provided Havana’s Afro-Cuban lower classes with a source of income and the chance to enter a previously European dominated market. 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 most important contribution made by a Chinese-Jamaican was by Vincent 'Randy' Chin, who in later years went on to establish the now world-famous VP Records in New York. In the past few years there have been several studies and reports done by local, regional and international scholars and economic development experts and agencies, including more than one United Nations agency, all of which point to Jamaica's music and entertainment as the best solution for economic growth, export expansion, youth employment creation and reduction of poverty. This shows that the music has come a far way. It has evolved into an untapped resource for Jamaica and Jamaicans. Marjorie Whylie, spoke

In the second half of the 1970s, the UK punk rock scene was starting to take off, and some punk DJs played reggae records during their DJ sets. Reggae has created some of the greatest artists whom paid the way for current artist today as well as those who are soon to come (Bogues, Anthony). Reggae music has its own style and culture that is distinctively unique.
In the mid 60s”Rock Steady”-a slower tempo with emphasis on syncopation-grew out of “Ska”. However, by the late 60s, yet another new Jamaican musical form had emerged-“Reggae”, the most famous of the musical styles developed on the island. Reggae spans the globe and has influenced the music of internationally famous performers in the US, Japan, UK, South America, and the rest of the world. Cuba: For most of the eighteenth
Captain Cook is credited with bringing this tradition to western culture following his Tahitian expedition in 1771. He coined the term tattoo from the Tahitian word tatauâ, which is onomatopoetic to the sound a tattooing instrument makes.
