Native Americans supplied the maracas, African slaves brought drums and ritual music, and Spaniards brought guitars, brass instruments, clarinets and ballroom dancing. The advent of blues and jazz gave new forms to styles of songs. Cuban culture represents a convergence of these diverse backgrounds, and the musical heritage presented in this book reflects these traditions.
