  • Bachata originated in Dominican Republic and not outside of it. It was created in Santo Domingo and in some areas of the countryside by poor people. I wonder how the hell is bachata was even mentioned in the commentary section. This is a video about salsa.

  • EVEN THE FLAMENCO CONTEMPORANEO HAVED INFLUENCED OF CUBAN MUSIC, BELIEVED OR NOT!!!!!! ETCCCCCC CALYPSO ALSO

  • @RomancesyBoleros Oh my God! I have never laughed so hard in my life not wonder why Cuba still fucks up for so many years with Fidel Castro. While your people sit down talking all kind of senseless shit, the country is going down the drain.

  • @RomancesyBoleros Bachata is a genre of music that originated in the Dominican Republic in the early parts of the 20th Century and spread to other parts of Latin America and Mediterranean Europe. It became popular in the countryside and the rural neighborhoods of the Dominican Republic.

  • @loveangel71 please direct me to a site or youtube video in which the rhythm of "Bachata" is clearle heard in the 1920's like you say. So far the only one that was send to me or else was an obscure 1962 one from a singer that used to sing with Felipe Rodriguez, Odilio Gonzales and other PR's in NYC and theathers in PR since the early 1950's. Let me see those 1920's 1930's or 1940's youtube "Bachata" records you are talking about. Show the proof. Lets see. So far nothing before 1962 I have seen.

  • @RomancesyBoleros Its subjects are often romantic; especially prevalent are tales of heartbreak and sadness. In fact, the original term used to name the genre was amargue ("bitterness," or "bitter music"), until the rather ambiguous (and mood-neutral) term bachata became popular. The form of dance, Bachata, also developed with the music

  • @RomancesyBoleros Flamenco is a genre of music and dance which has its foundation in Andalusian music and dance and in whose evolution Andalusian Gypsies played an important part.[1] The term flamenco was first recorded in the late 18th century but many aficionados believe the art form is much older.

  • @RomancesyBoleros Bomba is one of the folk musical styles of Puerto Rico. it is a largely African-derived music. The rhythm and beat are played by a set of hand drums and a maraca. Dance is an integral part of the music: the dancers move their bodies to every beat of the drum, making bomba a very wild and rich dance.

  • @RomancesyBoleros The basic music style was brought to Puerto Rico during the colonial slave trade. It originates in Kongo, although the majority of slaves can be traced back to many different areas of West and Central Africa. The dance was mostly practiced at the northern, southern and western coasts of the island where the majority of Africa's descendants lived.

  • @RomancesyBoleros Plena is a narrative song from the coastal regions of Puerto Rico, especially around Ponce. Its origins have been various claimed as far back as 1875 and as late as 1920. As rural farmers moved to San Juan and other cities, they brought plena with them and eventually added horns and improvised call and response vocals. Lyrics generally deal with stories or current events, though some are light-hearted or humorous.

  • @RomancesyBoleros Calypso is a style of Afro-Caribbean music that originated in Trinidad and Tobago from African and European roots. The roots of the genre lay in the arrival of enslaved Africans, who, not being allowed to speak with each other, communicated through song. This forged a sense of community among the Africans, who saw their colonial masters change rapidly, bringing French, Spanish and British music styles to the island of Trinidad.

Let’s talk about it, in your little mind probably consume by stupidity, you said that, Cuban had invented every Latin music for every Latin countries in Latino America. Are you insane or just retarded?

  • @RomancesyBoleros THE GÜIRO IS A PUERTO RICAN PERCUSSION INSTRUMENT CONSISTING OF AN OPEN-ENDED, HOLLOW GOURD WITH PARALLEL NOTCHES CUT IN ONE SIDE

    

  • @RomancesyBoleros COWBELL INSTRUMENT Although cowbells first appeared in American hillbilly music in the 1920s, there are numerous examples of the cowbell as an instrument in more recent popular music. Early pop recording examples include The Chambers Brothers' "Time Has Come Today" and Hugh Masekela's 1968 instrumental "Grazin' in the Grass"

  • @RomancesyBoleros The Marimbula The marimbulma consists of a wooden box large enough for the musician to sit upon while playing. This large box has a circular opening which serves as a sound hole. The sound is produced by keys of sheet metal of different sizes which are fastened over the opening and which produce diffrent notes when played with the fingertips. The marimbula was brought to Cuba by the French blacks that came from Santo Domingo.

  • @RomancesyBoleros The quijada is an instrument of primitive rhythms. It is typically made from the upper and lower jawbones of a donkey. The quijada is grasped with the left hand and manipulated with the right hand. The sound is produced by striking the teeth together and follows the rhythm of the clave.

  • @loveangel71 THE RHYTHM OF THE CLAVE IS CUBA... NOT AFRICA CUBAN MUSIC WAS CREATED BY CUBANS NOT AFRICANS DUMB ASS, THE CUBANS WERE THE FIRST TO INCORPORATE THE COWBELLS IN A BAND. ...WHY DO YOU THING THEY CALLED LATIN MUSIC INSTEAD OF THE REAL NAMED CUBAN MUSIC ......

WHAT DOES BOOGALOO HAS SON MONTUNO-GUAGUANCO-GUAJIRA-GUAR­ACHA-MAMBO-CHACHACHA,ETCCCC CUBAN RHYTHMS ALL OF IT!

  • @RomancesyBoleros This instrument is used to play strong rhythms and never in smooth melodies. It is very important in rumba and congas rhythms to which its sound adds a special flavor. The quijada is a typical African instrument. In Louisiana it is known as the "jawbone." 

  • @RomancesyBoleros BOTIJUELA: a clay jug, originally used to transport oil from Europe, became the bass instrument in son. MARACAS: Wooden gourds filled with pebbles used in music in Africa and all over the Caribberan. GUITAR: Spanish stringed instrument, with strong roots in Arabic culture, was brought to Cuba in the late 15th century.

  • @loveangel71 WHAT IS BACHATA??????? IF YOU THINK YOU KNOW IT ALL IT JUST A BOLERO RITMICO= CUBAN MUSIC, BUT THE DOMINICANS PUT THE ELETRIC GUITAR AND OTHER STUFF TO FOOL ALL YOU PEOPLE..... BUT WE THE MUSICOLOGY KNOWS IS CUBAN RYTHMS ALSO,,,, WHAT DOES MERENGUE HAS ???????? ITS ORIGEN COMES FROM CUBA BELIEVE OR NOT... IT COMES FROM UPA-UPA A CUBAN RHYTHM VERY OLD, ALSO IT HAS MAMBO TO IT!!!!! EVEN THE TANGO HAS ORIGEN FROM CUBA FROM THE HABANERA OK...!!! LEARN YOU'RE TALKING TO A MUSICOLOGY!

  • @RomancesyBoleros I am sorry that I had to get in to politic to get an example, but this is the truth. In your own world, Merengue, bachata, bomba y plena were influence by Cubans. What else is going to come out of your retarded mind? Rock, trance, classical music comes from Cuba, too.

  • @RomancesyBoleros Merengue was created by Ñico Lora, a Dominican of Spanish descent, in the 1920s. In the Dominican Republic it was promoted by Rafael Trujillo, the dictator from the 1930 to 1961, and became the country's national music and dance style, while in the United States it was popularized by Angel Viloria and his band Conjunto Típico Cibaeño. It was during the Trujillo era that the popular merengue song "Compadre Pedro Juan", by Luis Alberti, became an international hit.

  • @RomancesyBoleros This is to enrich your little knowledge about Salsa most of the instrument of salsa belongs to different countries not Cuban along only bongos and timbales are typical Cuban instruments. This is why Salsa was named salsa a mix of different afro Caribbean rhythms from Cuba, Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic. Salsa was born in New York combining theses different rhythms.

  • @loveangel71 JAJAJAJJAJJA DON'T MAKE ME LAUGHT SALSA A MIX OF CARIBBEAN RHTHMS LIKE GUAGUANCO-RUMBA-GUARACHA-COLUM­BIA-MAMBO-CHACHACHA-PILON-DENG­UE,DANZON-BOLERO-SON-SON MONTUNO-SON CAPETILLO,ETCCCCCCCC CUBA OWNS IT ALL EVEN PLENA AND BOMBA HAVE INFLUENCED OF CUBAN MUSIC......

  • @RomancesyBoleros Can you tell me where’s that fuck is the Cuban influence on those music style? Can you tell me what kind of drugs are you using to have those fantasies? It has to be a good one. Please stop talking mierda que lo que se conosen los cubanos por comemierda y habla mierda. Please stop talking shit because you are giving bad example to the Cubans, but it doesn’t matter they already have it.

  • @RomancesyBoleros Let me tell you something, from all the delirious Cuban I had met, you are the stupidest retarded bastard I have never met. Now you are going to tell me Cuban invented electricity and the nuclear energy, too. To take credit for one thing is irrelevant but for many is outrageous. Like flamenco who existed before were Cuban in the island, come on are you becoming crazy.

  • @RomancesyBoleros I know a good college of mine a Physiatrist to prescribe you Tricyclic, Lithium, and Nefazodone. Believed me you need to see a Doctor for those hallucinations of greatness. In your fantasy Cuban invented everything for sure like all the music in this world came from Cuba. I need fact no opinions and proof like the ones I had been sending to you.

  • @RomancesyBoleros The bolero is a 3/4 dance[3] that originated in Spain in the late 18th century, a combination of the contradanza and the sevillana.[4] Dancer Sebastiano Carezo is credited with inventing the dance in 1780.[5] It is danced by either a soloist or a couple. I

  • @RomancesyBoleros t is in a moderately slow tempo and is performed to music which is sung and accompanied by castanets and guitars with lyrics of five to seven syllables in each of four lines per verse. It is in triple time and usually has a triplet on the second beat of each bar.

  • @RomancesyBoleros During the Moorish occupation of Spain, the musical styles of the Roma, Jews, Spanish Christians and Moors contributed to the evolution of Latin music. The adoption of Moorish instruments and improvised high-pitched nasal singing style, and the characteristic Roma vocal trill spread to all parts of the Iberian Peninsula, as did, in the 16th century, the French troubadour tradition. Colonization of the Americas carried with it these Spanish musical traits.

  • @RomancesyBoleros The Spanish Décima song format of ten lines, each consisting of eight syllables, remains an important part of Latin music, as an aspect of corrido, bolero, and vallenato.

  • @RomancesyBoleros Out of all of Puerto Rico's musical exports, it is known for its version of salsa music as well as reggaeton. Bomba and plena have been popular in Puerto Rico for a long time, while reggaetón is a relatively recent invention. Reggaeton is a form of urban contemporary music,

  • @RomancesyBoleros which often combine other Latin musical styles and Caribbean and West Indies music together such as reggae and soca and Spanish reggae, most commonly salsa music and merengue music and bachata. Now in current times in Puerto Rico it has a genre known as Malianteo which is blend Rap, Regaeton, and Rap Core version

  • @RomancesyBoleros Most of the Cuban inventions as other Latin American invention in music come from Spain and Africa. There is not typical music from the new world. Put that in your retarded mind. The roots in every Latin American music comes from these two countries. The credit goes to Spain and Africa for bringing the music and the instrument to play it. Aprendite algo come mierda?

  • @RomancesyBoleros I hope your ass feel better by now after i verbally raped you, I sent fact not opinion. Good luck in your quest for the truth, Obi-Wan Kenobi Tell master Yoda to keep training you in the quest for the truth. Ja ja ja ja ja ja ja ja ja ja ja ja ja ja ja ja ja ja ja ja ja.

  • @RomancesyBoleros By the way, there is not Cuban music, it is African music brought by the African slaves to the new world. Everything is based on African and European music, who were the first before any music style existed in the American continents. Please enrich your retarded brain if you have any neurons left. Comemierda

  • So Congas are a slighly different kind of drum created by Africans that were stoled to the Caribbean? They had drums all over the world in ancient times. Even in Japan and all Asia. But those AfroRhythms not. They are African. if it was not for the Africans, Cubans would not have them. They are unique to them. Same with PR. Bomba is from Africa too. So is Cumbe or Cumbia as called now. That is what i read many times over. Just giving credit to those early musicians. By the way why Afromalaya?

  • @CFITOMAHAWK2 No materials in Cuba, so they rebuild it and it became different. Afro-Malaya is the name of a project to revive the 1930-50s era of Asian music that was based on Afro-Cuban rhythm that centered in Peninsular Malaysia (the old name is Malaya). There is a rumba band named after the project "Afro Malaya Conga Band", and also we work with Latin artists that comes by the region, both music and dance. We work wt mostly Cubans (cause they can get in w/out Visa) & others frm PR, etc.

  • @CFITOMAHAWK2 This one is mambo - search exactly "Jeritan Batinku ibu" on youtube. Listen. Conga, and Mambo. We are talking a 1950s production here. Very influenced by Perez Prado and Benny More.

  • Best those who dispute to take a look at this wwwdotnolanwardendotcom/Conga_­Drum_History(Warden).pdf

  • The principal instruments and music are not Cuban, but African. Even the names, Guaracha, Rumba, Conga, Guaguanco are African, not in Spanish. In Puerto Rico they MOSTLY accept the Rhytms of Salsa are African music based. In Cuba with little to show in the last 40 years they want to claim African Music is their creation mostly. That is also racist due many white Cubans were in those bands they say created Salsa, hence Cuban whites should get big credit too. That is the Cuban version of Salsa

  • very simple ALL THE SALSA Percussions are Cuban in origins, african in heritage, transformed in Cuba due to the cultural evolution there. As of today, no Puerto Rican band has managed to introduced any new instruments, it just wont work. Only xylophone from the Mentega Jazz of New York. Get my point? Stop calling salsa as puerto ricans. It is not, it wil never be, and stop posting cut and paste from internet.

  • @AfroMalaya But don't worry in Puerto Rico now they are experimenting with various of our own beats, rhythms and music like bomba, plena,cuantro and others. Pretty soon we will even replace Reggeaton, Urbano for the new music style in Puerto Rico. It is in progress until we put it down for enjoyment, we made things happens for sure. we are not going to mix our music with other like the way we made Salsa and reggeaton to be born. remember without us Salsa or Reggeaton wouldn't be born. anyway.

  • @loveangel71 You didnt born Salsa, you just rebrand them.. you didnt born reggaeton, you just rebrand them. Stop thinking puerto ricans are the greatest. When i was in college near washington, dc everyone hated puerto ricans cause of their arrogant behaviour. Plus they're all named juan anyhow. Lol. Even tito puentes clearly said it was cuban music. What made you think its Puerto Rican? e.g. Just because a bunch of Canadians do Kung Fu doesnt make it Canadian! It is still Chinese.

  • @AfroMalaya Arrogant behaviors? In the contrary Cuban are the arrogant behavior most of them not Puerto Rican. Everybody know that, about Cubans especially the old timer who still living in the past, I studied medicine in Tallahassee Florida, Germany and South Korea and when I told them; I was Puerto Rican they got so happy and offered all kind of kindness and respect.

  • @loveangel71 You didnt born Salsa, you just rebrand them.. you didnt born reggaeton, you just rebrand them. Stop thinking puerto ricans are the greatest..Lol. Even tito puentes clearly said it was cuban music. What made you think its Puerto Rican? Just because a bunch of Canadians do Kung Fu doesnt make it Canadian! It is still Chinese.

  • @AfroMalaya They even had Tito Puente and grand combo of Puerto Rico cd in Germany. We had influence many culture in the world no doubt about that. One thing I had noticed, you just another envy bastard talking shit trying to take credit away of who really started everything us Puerto Rican, but you know what nobody can take our credit for influencing the made of many rhythms and hits thought out the world. History can talk about it.

  • @AfroMalaya The main original Salsa percussions (the Conga and the Clave) are not "Cuban origins". Most in the world already know those are AFRICAN. Brought to Cuba by AFRICANS.

    SO IT IS JUST BS THAT THE BASE OF SALSA IS CUBAN. SOUNDS LIKE A BIG CUBAN LIE TO ME. SHAME. And by the way, i like other things about Cuba but dam stop that lie already. It have stain the Cuban reputation as good sincere people. BIG TIME.

  • @CFITOMAHAWK2 its called Afro-cuban tumbadores equipment, because it originates from Africa, but TRANSFORM in cuba - such as the Conga being elongated and coned, the bongo become larger, et all. I never said it wasnt african, so dont shove shit into my mouth. The reason they changed because of slavery, and oppression. The only that didnt change is the Bata drums. All salsa rhythm base is Son 2-3 clave or Son 3-2 clave, or Guaguanco. Go and take percussion classes instead of shooting off..

  • @AfroMalaya Now you are accepting the instruments originated in Africa. Before you said it was all Cuban creations. Those Congas, Tumbas, claves, bongos, were sligthly modified all over as ANY invention is MODIFIED SOMEHOW, but that doesn't mean you invented them. Come on, wake up from your Nationalistic Opium. Congas and BONGOS were modified and still are modified slightly. But they still AFRICAN music instruments. Now you are calling Congas and Bongos Cuban too. Ha, ha. Keep dreaming.

  • @CFITOMAHAWK2 In Africa, the congas are made from Logs and the name is not even Conga in africa. The cuban conga "tumbadora in spanish to be specific", developed by the Afro-cubans slaves , are made from barrels (what is left over), so it was barrels which are tied with ropes. Thus the varying sound and shape. The Cahoun, the box in which the music can be made, is made from cigar boxes. Slaves didnt carry their drums, so they had to improvesid- so the tumbadora is therefore invented in Cuba.

  • @AfroMalaya Just caught you in another lie. You said Cubans invented a new Conga not made from logs. Now say they just used a different kind of wood (barrels) but that was centuries later. So if I make a now available lighter material kind of bicycle that means I invented the bicycle? The base of Salsa are African Instruments and African Rhythms that were added European instruments and sang in Spanish in the Caribbean, Specially Cuba. But It is still an African creation. Cubans added EU instrum

  • @CFITOMAHAWK2 They did lar, they invented it. Slaves cant carry logs on slaves ships dude! There is no conga in africa, only baku log-based drums. It was their afro experience that makes the drums. It has antecedents. The conga is not an african invention. Invented by Africans slave though.

  • @AfroMalaya The conga makes different sound, the cone shapes and the deep richness and tones are very different than the bembé,Makuta, and Yuka; which is conga's antecedent.. That is why Congas (and Bongos) are irreplaceable on Latin Orchestral arrangements. The tone is very different, if i play the African drums (which i did three weeks ago on stage) it was a feminine interpertation whereas the conga's sound, are masculine. The technique of hitting them are also different, tones varies, etc.

  • It is like this. If a jewish-american from Russia migrates to New York and invented a vaccine, it will be an american invention, no matter where he come from; or nationality . Inventions are based on the geographical location that creates them. Of course the Jewish part is there; no one is disputing it. You see, the Puerto Ricans claim Salsa create by them. This is the main issue. They brand them so that they dont have to say the words Cuban Music, because of political and commercial concern.

  • Respond to this video... were mostly 6 bands from Puerto Rico and 3 from Cuba. Fania were mostly Puerto Rican stars and 3 Cubans bands. Main singer of his band was Pete "El Conde Rodriguez" from Ponce, Puerto Rico. Fania Records were the promoters that brought Salsa BACK to compete with Rock and Roll in the 70's and keep it alive after almost died in the 60's w/ Cuban bands

  • @CFITOMAHAWK2 They died cause of political reasons. Look it up.

  • @AfroMalaya I know Salsa are based on Afro Cuban rhytms. Only a few young ignorant PR's don't accept the Cuban and African part. They don't know that part at all or just want to ignore it due since 1970's most Salsa hits in the world are from Puerto Rican or NYRican musicians. Part was the USA boycott but even in countries without boycott like Canada or Mexico, and many others the PR Salsa dominated the market for decades, the Emmys and Latin music Awards. Reguetton is now taking over, I think.

  • @br0nzepen This Loveangel71 is a defender of Puerto Rican bullshit at all cost. No point arguing with him he just streamrolled your arguments by cutting and pasting from the Internet.

  • @AfroMalaya Salsa Romántica, also known as Salsa Erotica, is a soft form of salsa music that emerged between the mid 1980s and early 1990s in New York City and Puerto Rico. It has been the most commercially successful form of salsa in the last 20 years, despite criticism that it is a pale imitation of "real" salsa, often called "salsa dura."

  • @loveangel71 Tommy Olivencia, Lalo Rodríguez, Tony Vega, and Eddie Santiago, who sang a softer and more romantic version of salsa. Today's famous Puerto Rican salsa singers include La India, Marc Anthony, Víctor Manuelle, Tito Nieves, Jerry Rivera and Gilberto Santa Rosa.

  • @loveangel71 The music of Puerto Rico has been influenced by the Spanish, African, Taíno Indians, France, and the United States, and has become very popular across the Caribbean and across the globe. Native popular genres include bomba, plena, and seis, while more modern innovations include the hip hop fusion reggaeton.

  • @AfroMalaya Salsa romantica originated in Puerto Rico while Salsa Dura originated in New York state by Puerto Rican's who migrated to the mainland. This genre is represented by Cheo Feliciano. he 1980s experienced the rise of "salsa romantica" and such artists as Frankie Ruiz, Willie Gonzalez, Nino Segarra,

  • @AfroMalaya Bomba is a style of music and dance imported from West Africa during the time of slavery, with its modern development beginning in Loíza and Ponce. Bomba was played during the festival of St. James, since slaves were not allowed to worship their own gods, and soon developed into countless styles based on the kind of dance intended to be used at the same time; these include leró, yubá, cunyá, babú and belén.

  • @AfroMalaya Danza is a musical genre that originated in Ponce, a city in southern Puerto Rico.[1] It is a popular turn-of-the-twentieth-century ballroom dance genre slightly similar to the waltz. Both the danza and its cousin the contradanza are sequence dances, performed to a pattern, usually of squares, to music that was instrumental.

  • @AfroMalaya The décima has its roots in 16th century Spain and represents the earliest examples of the combination of native rhythms and the lyrics and melodies from the mother country. Décima is derived from Andalusian ballads that came to Puerto Rico in the late 17th century.

  • @AfroMalaya Décima (meaning tenth) usually consists of ten improvised lines of eight syllables each; the form quickly became popular among Jíbaros, or peasants. Note that a décima is also the name of a very specific type of verses in Spanish poetry.

  • @AfroMalaya The seis originated in the later half of the 17th century in the southern part of Spain. The word means six, which may have come from the custom of having six couples perform the dance, though many more couples eventually became quite common. Men and women form separate lines down the hall or in an open place of beaten earth, one group facing the other. The lines would approach and cross each other and at prescribed intervals the dancers would tap out the rhythm with their feet.

  • @AfroMalaya Then came other Freestyle artists that were Puerto Rican such as Brenda K. Starr, Marc Anthony, Cynthia, George LaMond, La India, Judy Torres, TKA, Lil Suzy and Lissette Melendez. La India, Marc,and Brenda would later get more recognition when they stopped singing Freestyle music and began singing Salsa.

  • @AfroMalaya A specialized style of rap exists in Puerto Rico that reflects its ambiguous yet evolving identity as a musical community. Recently, the messages found in underground rap songs have been provocative and assertive. Rap group El Sindicato and rock band Fiel a la Vega collaborated in creating the politically-conscious song, "O Luchamos o Nos Entregamos" (Either We Fight or We Give In).[1]

  • @AfroMalaya Religious activism can be found in the song Amor al Rescate song "Somos Hermanos" (We Are Brothers). Assimilating English into his mostly Spanish song Poesia Subterranea, Puerto Rican rapper SieteNueve incorporates

  • @AfroMalaya fundamental aspects of hip-hop into his music video, such as graffiti and breakdancing, and he also expresses appreciation of his hometown, Villa Palmeras. As songs such as SieteNueve's are underground, and not too mainstream, in Puerto Rico, they receive even less attention elsewhere around the world.

  • @AfroMalaya "Tropikeo" is the fussion of R&B, Rap, Hip Hop, Funk and Techno Music within a Tropical musical frame of salsa, in which the conga drums and/or timbales drums are the main source of rhythm of the tune, in conjunction with a heavy salsa "montuno" of the piano. The lyrics of the song can be rapped or sung, or used combining both styles, as well as danced in both styles.

  • @AfroMalaya Examples are Ivy Queen & Don Omar song title "Robarte Un Beso", the Group 3D Ritmo De Vida song title "Que Siga La Rumba" and the Group Mas Salsa Que Tu song title "Ten Cuida'o".

  • @AfroMalaya A new sound from Puerto Rico is taking the Caribbean, South America, the United States and many other places around the globe by storm. It has yet to be given an official name, but it is starting to be called Electro Flow. I

  • @AfroMalaya t is a spin-off genre of Reggaeton but does not contain the typical dembow beat and focuses on fusing the sounds and styles of Reggaeton, Hip-Hop, Electropop, and Dance-pop. This new sound has produced mega hits such as Síguelo by Wisin Y Yandel, Pose by Daddy Yankee, and Virtual Diva by Don Omar.

  • @AfroMalaya Afro-Rican jazz is an original concept developed by trombonist, composer/ arranger William Cepeda that celebrates the heritage of Puerto Rican music and its African roots while creating a new shade of jazz with a hip flavor. Steeped in the jazz tradition (having studied and performed with Dizzy Gillespie,

  • @AfroMalaya Lester Bowie, Jimmy Heath, Slide Hampton, David Murray and Donald Byrd among others), Cepeda developed this unique artistic expression by incorporating a contemporary jazz perspective with the musical and cultural traditions of his homeland, Puerto Rico.

  • There is ABSOLUTELY no Puerto Ricans instruments in Salsa used. Everything is Cuban percussions. The only thing Salsa about Puerto Ricans is that they copied it and add some plena and bomba (which is also rearely played) and then sold it to the American market. just because they are an American Colony. And they cant sell to the Americans as Cuban Music cause the word Cuba send shivers and create deep hatreds from the American market.

  • @AfroMalaya The Aguinaldo from Puerto Rico is similar to Christmas carols, except that they are usually sung in a parranda, which is rather like a lively parade that moves from house to house in the neighborhood, looking for holiday food and drink. The melodies were subsequently used for the improvisational décima and seis. There are aguinaldos that are usually sung in churches or religious services, while there are aguinaldos that are more popular and are sung in the parrandas.

  • @AfroMalaya Plena is a narrative song from the coastal regions of Puerto Rico, especially around Ponce. Its origins have been various claimed as far back as 1875 and as late as 1920. As rural farmers moved to San Juan and other cities, they brought plena with them and eventually added horns and improvised call and response vocals.

  • @AfroMalaya Lyrics generally deal with stories or current events, though some are light-hearted or humorous. Manuel A. Jiménez, or El Canario, is the most highly celebrated of the original plena performers. n the 1940s and 50s, artists like Cesar Concepción and Mon Rivera made plena slicker and made some hits internationally, but the music's popularity sunk drastically by the mid-1960s.

  • @AfroMalaya Boogaloo or Bugalu (shing-a-ling, popcorn music) originated in New York City and said to be "the first Nuyorican music". Boogaloo, a fusion of Rhythm such as Blues, R&B

  • @RomancesyBoleros GO SUCK FIDEL CASTRO DICK ASSHOLE

  • @AfroMalaya Several international pop-stars have come from Puerto Rico or are of Puerto Rican descent, including Danny Rivera, and Chucho Avellanet, alongside Chayanne, Jennifer Lopez (although she's a native New Yorker), Luis Miguel, (born in P.R. although he's of Spaniard and Italian descent and raised in Mexico), José Feliciano,

  • @AfroMalaya (folk rock singer and guitarist well-known for infusing Light My Fire into Latin America), Briel & Dagmar, Wilkins Vélez, Nydia Caro, Ednita Nazario, Lucecita Benítez, Obie Bermúdez, Ricky Martin, Luis Fonsi, Yolandita Monge and Noelia.

  • @AfroMalaya Boy bands like Menudo and Los Chicos also topped charts worldwide for a period, and began the careers of Martin and Chayanne, respectively. Menudo has been recognized by many around the world to be history's greatest boy band.

  • @AfroMalaya In 1984, Puerto Ricans in New York were beginning their own sound of Freestyle music. The single that many consider the first true Latin Hip-Hop record (was not called Freestyle until much later) was Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam's "I Wonder If I Take You Home." The song was originally signed to Personal Records in New York and not released in the U.S. It was licensed to CBS Records in England and became a big club record on import.

  • @AfroMalaya The response the record received from the Latin Hip-Hop clubs led Columbia Records to pick up the single for U S release where it became an anthem for teen-age girls. The song reached #34 on the Pop charts in August 1985 and Lisa Lisa became a role model for young Hispanics all over her hometown of New York.

    A recent sound known as "Romantikeo", is very similar to American R&B. It is a fusion of Reggaeton, pop, & R&B, but resembles R&B the most. Many artists such as Arcangel, De La Ghetto, RKM & Ken-Y, Zion Y Lennox, Don Omar, Wisin Y Yandel, Jowell & Randy, & more.

    Example are Zion featuring Akon song title "The Way She Moves". Another example is Calle 13 song title "Un beso de Desayuno".

  • @AfroMalaya Classical music

    There are two main orchestras, renowned in the Caribbean area. One is the Orquesta Sinfónica de Puerto Rico and another is the Orquesta Filarmónica de Puerto Rico. The renowned Casals Festival takes place annually in San Juan, drawing in classical musicians from around the world.

  • @AfroMalaya this is the problem with Latinos their enviousness is greater than whatever they can produce, we Puerto Rican came out with many rhythms even improvise or make better some, we are a very powerful, talented race no matter how many shit your fucking bastard tried to talk, we always prevails. Why are you so afraid to reveal your nationality? I had asked the same question many times. why are you so afraid?

  • @loveangel71There is no envy, only authenticity. Stealing shit from people and repackaging is what Puerto Ricans are known for, nothing original.No Puerto Rican band can outdo theBbuena vista social club OR Los Van Van in terms of productiveness. If you so sure Salsa is puerto rican, find me a MUSICAL STAGE Production about Puerto Rican Salsa, none, cause cant sell non-authentic stuff. See Havana Rakatan, Kings of Salsa, Lady Salsa, Bar @ Buena Vista, Havana Rumba, -Full international hits

  • @AfroMalaya I told you before I don't give a shit about Salsa i never like it and I never will. even though we contribute for the existence of Salsa and made it famous around the world. I can named thousand of famous Puerto Rican Salsa singer and composer who wrote songs that made salsa famous around the world. You named those band I can named thousands of successful Puerto Rican salsa band or singer especially Mark anthony, willie colon and others.

  • @AfroMalaya You can have your salsa and shove up your ass, but don't come here talking shit about my people because i will fight back, Don't threat on me remember that. Why you haven't reveal your identity? but i check your profile and i deductive that you are Cuban. Salsa was born in New york by Puerto Rican and later Venezuela, Colombia and other adopted it, because us made it famous around, we were the ones who made famous other wise Salsa would have be gone like now. In USA barely we play

  • @AfroMalaya Since we introduced and made reggeaton barely anybody listen to salsa in USA. those people or band you mention nodoby know it here in USA at all probably in Miami but even though they don't even play it in the club only Cubaton, Reggeaton, bachata, merengue house and a little Puerto Rican salsa in Miami in club and radio stations. I used to live there for 15 years in Miami.

  • @loveangel71 Those three Cuban bands you mentioned are famous only with some old Cubans and some Communist Hispanicss like a friend of mine that buys those records and listen to them by himself or with with his Commie friends only. They are ok but can't compete with the mainstream Salsa we have for the last 30-40 years. Salsa was dead by the 60's. Even thefamous Paladium closed in 1966 due Rock and Roll took over the pop music. Fania All Stars were the ones that brought Salsa back in the 1970's

  • @CFITOMAHAWK2 Thank you!!!! Good to know, This AfroMlaya persona is a crazy guy.

  • @loveangel71 You see my name you should have known what is my heritage. Thanks

  • From Salsa Wikipedia with Reference :

    Regarding the genre's origin, Johnny Pacheco,[3] creator of the Fania All-Stars, who "brought salsa to New York"[4] (of which some members include: Tito Puente, Ray Barretto, Willie Colón, Larry Harlow, Johnny Pacheco, Roberto Roena, Bobby Valentín), explained[5] that "..salsa is and always had been Cuban Music."

  • @AfroMalaya This article said everything it was Puerto Rican who contributed with the development of SALSA. Salsa is the Mix of many Rhythms, it doesn’t matter what ever people try to do by trying to take credit from Puerto Rican, history tell the contrary. This genre was born by the contribution of Puerto Rican, Dominican and Cuban. Not just one nationality

  • @Encephaloneuron1 Yeah we all know that but there are some people saying that its not cuban. Saying it came from Puerto Rico or worst, Africa. We are not limiting the influences of other culture, but they are people here who insists that its not Cuban. If that's the case why not call hip hop from Africa instead of the ghetoos since the african tribesmen are already dancing on their backs.

  • @Encephaloneuron1 Which article? Development of Salsa if you see from American perspective is myopic. Today, Puerto Ricans do not make salsa music cause they cant sell. Only Cuban, Venezuelans, and even Peruvians (yes those guys) make Salsa, in a modern genre called Timba. Every latin jazz band playing timba outisde the USA wt Timba parties and club launching everywhere int he world except USA (too occupied with Puerto Ricans playing reggaeton). Dont have to believe me, just check wwwtimbadotcom

  • Major factual error --- 1:06 Rumba is not dance for gods, that is Orishas (the Afro Cuban Folkloric). Rumba is Secular.

  • THIS IS NOT HISTORICALLY ACCURATE!!! LOAD OF B.S. CHECK OUT OTHER DOCUMENTARIES PLEASE! ESPECIALLY THOSE NARRATED BY THE MUSICIANS OF THE 50S AND 60S.

  • Salsa class! Im taking it in my highschool

  • @jhmnz92 Awesome man! I hope they teaching you to dance on2 but all types of salsa is beautiful

  • WUWUWUWU i had to watch this for homework, how awesome! -.-

  • @jhmnz92 Awesome! what class was this?

  • @loveangel71 Puerto Rican has the bad habit of stealing people's stuff and making it theirs. You name me a Puerto Rican music i say plena or bomba. You can steal salsa cause of Son clave. If it werent there, the reason puerto ricans make it successful cause they have access to US market.

  • @AfroMalaya Really!!!! Stealing oh wao!! It wouldn’t be for us Salsa wouldn’t come to be same thing with Reggeaton and Spanish Hip hop and Rap Vico C even Freestyle and electro pop Lisa Lisa cult jam. Every Rhythm we had dominated and made them famous I don’t hear salsa sounding that much on the radio like Reggeaton or urban music.

  • @AfroMalaya If wouldn’t be for us, nobody would know what that hell Salsa was. We took it around the world. That’s rhythm was born in New York by Rican Mixing afro Cuban and Puerto Rican Rhythm. You sound like a typical Cuban talking shit. Many rhythms we dominated and invented. Thank to us Rican things came to be or we made them famous. Thanks the masters us for that. Same thing with Reggeaton We mix Jamaican music with our own Spanish rap and other Rhythm no doubt about that.

  • Comment removed

  • The base of ALL salsa music is the Clave, particulary the Son Clave 3/2 and 2/3. Son is as Cuban as Reggae is to Jamaicans. The Son Clave is played differently from Rhumba / Guaguancho clave, although similiar. The Tres meets the Clave at Santiago de Cuba (birthplace of Son Montuno - Today's Salsa in bpm and arrangements) circa 1920s and the piano meets the Tres/Clave in Havana circa 1930s. Without the Son, there is no Salsa. The Mambo is offspring of Danzon and Son heritage. Btw Mambo is dead

  • Some semantics, pls call it Afro-Cuban, it is not Afro-Carribean. In my opinion problem i see here is that you are diminishing Cuban influences just because of political reasons. If you mention Afro-Carribean you are including Afro influences from Haiti and Jamaica as well! Plus the term Afro-Carribean is like calling Afro-Middle East, which is a misnomer. The 3:42 is actualy the original Son-Mambo hybrid, which became the Mambo of NYC of the Palladium era. See Yanek Revilla dance Mambo video.

  • idiots this damn thing is about salsa not fucking egypt! Stop hating black people are everywhere and have influenced Most of everything, get over yourselves.

  • ball room dance ain't european. the moor who were black brought that to europe. think mwomen in the 1930's and 1960's had no rights and were looked upon with vile. the ball room dance is all about show casing the womAN TOTALY AGAINST WHITE CULTURE. TRANSPLANTED here from europe. why is europe named after a ethiopian queen. whites a carcasian hence from the cascus mountains

  • if we claim egypt , nubia and caneen/ tyrania and u say live in the now and not the past why do you cracker always qute greece and rome. speak of abraham linclon and so called isreal in chruch . power is knowledge of the past . we i got to prove nothing to yuu. white folk can't go to south beach with sun tan lotion how u going to live in a desert like the sahara

  • @demetriushardin you said better then i could playa!!

  • modern salsa is influenced by african music which is not the same as being created by african people. Also salsa was created in cuba and later evolved in puerto rico and another country(forgot the name)??? Merengue is from republica.d, made by a spanish guy. Reggaeton is from puerto rico and thats a fact., so the question is if it was evolved from spanish reggae... I dont know, but some people say so.

  • @amatop2000 Man...you're wrong on every count! Sorry to say...no disrespect...just need some research.

  • MrRubenG, mind telling me? Is that how you debate with people? Come on, at least give me a clue or prove your point.

    No disrespect.

  • Put it in your thick head without Ricans this music wouldnt exist, we started this shit and produced this beat no one else can denied that only you with your stupid logic Mr spock you should go back to your time machine or enterprise. This was made by Jamaican and Ricans not Panama.

  • @loveangel71 Reggaetons is made by Panamians .. EL General was the king of reggaeton made it popular, and the puerto ricans like usual hijack it to sell it to Latinos in USA. The Jamaicans made reggaeton when they were working on the Panama Canal. Go do research on Reggaeton!

  • @AfroMalaya Vico C (born Luis Armando Lozada Cruz on September 8, 1971) is an Puerto Rican rapper and reggaeton artist. He is considered one of the founding fathers of reggaeton and has played an influential role in the development of Latin American hip hop.As one of the founders of hip hop in Spanish, Vico C was able to show that it was possible for one to be able to rap entirely and compellingly in Spanish using just occasional English phrases or slang terms.

  • @AfroMalaya He can be seen in the reggaeton movement as far back as its "underground" days ghostwriting and producing music for other young performers in the Puerto Rican rap scene. In 1989 Vico C finally got his first big break.[2] Rap in Puerto Rico was at a popular high, and Ruben DJ had become extremely popular with his radio hit

  • @AfroMalaya "La Escuela" ("The School"). Vico C entered the charts with his super hit "La Recta Final" ("The Final Stretch"). With this song, Vico C reached international fame. Vico C started touring frequently to places like New York, Chicago, Miami, Mexico, Venezuela, El Salvador, Panama, the Dominican Republic and more places.

  • @br0nzepen Everybody knows that music was born in PR by mixing Jamaican beat not panama. By the way we now use another beat barely use den bow beat now you are going to tell we didnt make the change.

  • @loveangel71 See, your not making any sense. Now your saying PR uses another beat. Can this be called Reggaeton or is PR going to call it a different name like "Ricanton" and then in the dictionary it will say "Ricanton" has it's roots in Reggaeton. Do you understand what I am saying. Den bow is the core of Reggaeton, if you don't use Den bow then you can't call it Reggaeton anymore. But it's not anything new. It's just an evolution of a genre that PR did not invent.

  • @loveangel71 Wait a minute, now your saying only PR but in the last statement you is Jamaica as well. Make up your mind. You are really showing how stupid you are and brutish by not providing facts and just pulling shit out of your ass. You must be known as the clown to your friends because no one takes you seriously. "Here comes loveangel, everyone just roll your eyes and laugh at his back". Let me guess, salsa was also invented by PR, right? Time to start rolling the eyes....

  • @br0nzepen I think the clown are you; I heard there is an opening in Smithsonian museum historian defender. No matter how much shit you are trying to credit Panama Reggeaton was born in Puerto Rico by Puerto Rican mixing Jamaican Reggae with other beats. Reggeaton is more Spanish Rap with Hip Hop then incorporating the den boy hit from Jamaica. Who is the father of Spanish rap and hip hop Vico C.

  • @loveangel71 Provide proof just don't pull shit out of your ass. Only makes you look ignorant and brutish. Father of Spanish rap and hip hop??? More shit pulling out of your ass. let me guess, you are in favor of burning books and rewriting history according you to what favors you.

  • @br0nzepen Why are you using the same argument I told you before it was Puerto Rican mixing Jamaican beat with ours. Keep in your head without us this shit wouldnt exist how many times I have to repeat the same shit. I dont give a shit how many people trying to discredit Puerto Rican. This shit was born in Puerto Rico you should be giving thanks to us for bringing this beat to life.

  • @loveangel71 It's not an argument it's a historical fact. I am providing proof but it amazes me how close minded you are just plain retarded. I am telling you the apple is red and you keep saying no it's blue.

  • @br0nzepen As one of the founders of hip hop in Spanish, Vico C was able to show that it was possible for one to be able to rap entirely and compellingly in Spanish using just occasional English phrases or slang terms. He can be seen in the reggaeton movement as far back as its "underground" days ghostwriting and producing music for other young performers in the Puerto Rican rap scene.

  • @loveangel71 But nowhere does it say he is known has the father of reggaeton. Your making this up.

  • @br0nzepen Put it in your head this shit wouldn't be born without us, No matter how much you are trying to discredit Puerto Rico everybody know it was us responsible for this rhythm to be born. We mix it, create it and made it famous around the world like every thing we touch. I recommend investigate more before you are trying to teach bullshit to others.

  • @loveangel71 Apparently the history books and the internet disagree with you. Everybody else is like you just plain ignorant and bruto.

  • @br0nzepen I recommend to you try to get another career because you definitely suck as historian I dont think Smithsonian will give you a job opportunity. In your own world may be you are good but in the real world you are super suck. Mr. Einstein in your infinitive wisdom of trash you are the best. Every body knows Puerto Rico was the one responsible for the Reggeaton to be born dont try to twist the history check your source better. Vico C, DJ playero and Shabba rank fathers of reggeaton.

  • @loveangel71 I am giving proof and facts, you have not.

    You know, I have heard of the stereo typical PR who is ignorant and stupid but I have never met one.  I thought it was BS but now you are starting to make a believer out of me. If everybody knows then why does the history books and the internet say El General is the Godfather of Reggaeton? I have checked my sources and they all point to El General. What are your sources?

  • @br0nzepen Puerto Rican are so ignorant that we have a supreme court judge, many congressman, Doctors, lawyers, businessman, scientists working for NASA many and made history almost everything sport, music, military and inventions,etc. It is a small island who had kick ass many big ones. For Example me Microbiologist and master degree in Medicine also member of USA Marines, how ignorant Puerto Rican are. Forgot Antonia Novello first Latina General Surgeon for USA.

  • @loveangel71 LOL, you just showed me that you don't even know what the word ignorant means. You do fit the stereotypical PR who is stupid and ignorant. LOL

    BTW, Antonia Novello has a felony conviction and is working for Disney now. Yes the Rican mobile was made in PR so the car was invented in PR......everyone start rolling their eyes. LOL

  • @br0nzepen Antonia Novellobut eventually pleaded guilty to one felony count of filing a false instrument in exchange for a light sentence and dropping the other charges.[2] Her guilty plea was accepted by the court on August 13, 2009.[8]

  • @loveangel71 She had to, she would have gone to jail. Still a felony conviction.. Total failure and ending her career. She lost all credibility.

  • @br0nzepen So what? Still the first Latin general surgeon of USA and the only one still, Nobody is perfect only GOD. El que este libre de pecado tire la primera piedra. The title of first US latin general surgeon nobody can take it away from her the same we were the ones who invented Reggeaton.

  • @loveangel71 Ho hum. Like speaking another language somehow makes you different. So I guess we should open up the jails and free all the prisoners because no one is perfect??

    Thump, I just threw a stone at her forehead. Better title would be the first latin general convicted of a felony.

  • @br0nzepen In 2002, Novello was awarded the James Smithson Bicentennial Medal.[9] She was also presented with the Legion of Merit Medal by the United States Secretary of State Colin Powell.

    In 2006, she was a finalist for the Hispanic Business magazine Woman of the Year Award and was featured in the April 2006 issue

  • @br0nzepen In 1999, Governor of New York George Pataki appointed Novello as the Commissioner of Health for the State of New York. She served until 2006. Since 2008, Novello has been vice president of Women and Children Health and Policy Affairs at Disney Childrens Hospital at Florida Hospital in Orlando, Florida.[5]

  • @br0nzepen What a fucking ignorant you are. Ja ja ja ja ja I think when you were little your mother drop you on the floor or just you were born retarded. Dont worry probably one day they will find the cure for retarded people like you. You know what really give me the pleasure more you envy us more miserable you become. Adios have fun with your new profession as a clown. Ja ja ja ja ja ja

  • @loveangel71 Oh well, I guess you are the stereo typical PR. Dumb, ignorant and inarticulate. Even laughing at your own statements. Very immature but not surprising. Here is a joke for you. Your slow so you might not get it.

    "What are the 3 miracles of the Caribbean?"

    A mute Cuban.

    An intelligent PR.

    and a White Dominican.

    It's an old joke and PR's like you actually give credit to it.

  • @br0nzepen Even making joke you are sucks, why you havent tell me where you from are? Why are you so afraid to reveal it to me? I bet that you are MEXICAN for sure. It is amazing no even as a clown you are worth it. Do you want me to send the list witch is huge of scientist, Doctors, inventor professional, etc.

  • @loveangel71 I am a human from the human race.  But you being a racist is probably not good enough. Stereotypical means how the majority of the race is looked upon. There are always exceptions that prove the rule. But like I said, I thought it was BS until you came again. You fit the stereotypical PR to the T.
