afro-cuban


island that is fascinating beats are drumming sounds are playing feets are moving congas is vibrating dancing sensationalizing history where this form of Spanish music was born it all started with a legend name Benny More who's sounds were more natural than a rotten corn passed on to Machito passed on to Tito Puente who transformed Afro-Cuban to a style that transcends the meaning of beautiful music there was beef back then but not like now when one feels threaten, they pull out an instrument call a gun back then, all they pulled out was an instrument call music and a voice of course, like the blacks, there was segregation color people spoke out and provided a different suggestion the legacy of Afro Cuban music continued until the 90's clubs closed down drugs became the epitome of the town a legendary gentleman by the name Mr. Bobby Sanabria resonated the word disenfranchise although bridges were burn, there is still hope the movement of Afro-Cuban will bounce back more than stronger than a junkie on the corner who continues to sniff dope
