Guste o no guste - y exceptuando algunas músicas locales puertorriqueñas--- TODITA la "salsa" y todo lo demás se basa en la música CUBANA. Eso no le quita ningún mérito a todos los talentosísimos artistas borinqueños --- que le dieron su "sabol".
I grew up in the early 40's in NYC. We danced to all this music as well as Harry James, Glenn Miller and all the big Bands. Didn't know nor care where it 'originated'. We were all of Cuban, Puerto Rican, Greek, Armenian and Irish descent in my neighborhood. If it's good music, what difference does it make if its origin is Africa, Lapland or Patagonia. Enjoy it.
The second tune is '110th Street and 5th Avenue', which was where a dance hall that Noro played in many times. While he wrote 110th Street and 5th Ave., Noro did not write 'Rumba Rhapsody'. It was written by Rafael Audinot and Alberto de Bru. Noro's version is the best that I have heard
I agree with what is said by the earlier. Can hear that in a tune called Stop 21 by Noro. In NYC with Jose Curbelo Noro was influential in creating what was to be called Salsa in the 60's. In the late 40-50's influenced the Mambo. Machito, Vicentico (Cuban) Tito Rodz, (1/2 Cuban PR) Pellin, Joe Valle sang with him. Daniel Santos,Boby Capo, Mirta Sylva (PR) sang with Matancera. No 1 creator of Mambo or Salsa.When the Guaracha and Rumba were created he was there,Puerto Rican .One world/one music.
While Noro Morales may have been influenced by Cuban music and he probably was, you cannot say that his music was cuban. He was not Cuban but Puertorrican. Creative genius has no boudaries. At the time of the creation of the Mambo, Noro was there, palying Rumbas and Guarachas (played by many) Musically speaking, Noro created an new style of music using the Son clave in rhythms where the traditional Rumba clave tempos are used.1st step>Salsa. Cuban Orchestras even today keep the claves separate.
Esta música le debe mucho a la cadencia andaluza - por eso suena así media árabe/morisca.

Lo que pasa es hay algunos boricuas acomplejados. Brasil y Cuba son las dos potencias nucleares de la música en Latinoamérica.
