A few thoughts about the "Cuban danzon"


Would you like to see our parents jump and start dancing?

Play a "danzon"!

There is something magical about the beat and the romantic overtones. I can certainly understand why people love it so much.

I certainly do.

The story of the "danzon" goes like this:
"Danzón has been called the official dance of Cuba, and evolved from the French-Haitian Contradance, brought to Cuba by Haitians fleeing the revolution of the late 1700s.

Danzón is also widely popular in Mexico's Gulf Coast. "
