Afro-Cuban music - Afro-Cuban music (English)

Music by African Cubans. The influence of African traditional music remains strong in the ritual music for magical beliefs, but the mixture with Spanish music and other music has also produced music with new rhythms and dances unique to Cuba. These include bolero, habanera, rumba, cha-cha-cha, mambo, danzón, guaracha, son, pachanga, and many others, which have spread not only to Latin America but also to Europe and Japan.

アフリカ系キューバ人による音楽。アフリカ伝統音楽の影響は、呪術(じゅじゅつ)信仰のための儀礼音楽に色濃く残されているが、スペイン音楽などとの混交により、キューバ独特の新しいリズムないしは舞踊を伴う音楽も生み出された。そのなかには、ボレロ、ハバネラ、ルンバ、チャチャチャ、マンボ、ダンソンdanzón、グアラーチャguaracha、ソンson、パチャンガpachangaなどが含まれ、ラテンアメリカのみならずヨーロッパやわが国に広まったものも多い。
