Скачать или смотреть The History of Salsa in 2 Minutes | Afro-Cuban Roots, Mambo, Casino & Timba

Salsa is more than a dance—it’s a living history.

In this 2-minute breakdown, I trace the real origins of salsa through its Afro-Cuban lineage, starting with Indigenous Taíno culture and moving through Danzón, Son, Mambo, Casino, Afro-Cuban Jazz, and Timba.

This video explores:
• Indigenous Taíno dance and ceremonial rhythm
• African and European cultural fusion in Cuba
• Danzón as Cuba’s national dance
• Son from eastern Cuba and its global spread
• Cuban mambo vs. New York mambo
• Afro-Cuban jazz at the Palladium Ballroom
• Casino dance in 1950s Cuba
• The birth of salsa in the 1970s
• Timba and modern Cuban dance culture

This history is the foundation of everything we experience on my Roots of Salsa Cuban Dance Retreat—where dancers don’t just learn steps, but dance inside the culture where salsa was born.
