Timeline of trends in Cuban music
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cuban music has incorporated influences from France, Spain, Portugal, Africa, the United States and Great Britain, and various other sources over time.
The 1950s Cha-cha-cha was extremely popular. It is a slower and simplified descendant of the Mambo, created for the non-cuban (mainly U.S.) audience, which had some problems with the heavily syncopated Mambo. Because of its more simple structure, the Cha-cha-cha is easier to dance to, so it didn't took long for it to become very popular and successful.
