But it s still Cuban music. I mean, it can be danced as easily by a person of this generation as by a person of a previous generation. So for Cubans, what we play is still Cuban music, but its instrumental sounds and degree of energy is probably new. I think that the music of every country evolves and this orchestra is a good example of the way that Cuban music has evolved in the past 30 years. Salsa is soft.
Cuban music has a lot of changes in the bass, the piano and the percussion.
I think that salsa is trying to renovate itself anew. I was in Cuba a few of times and I heard a lot of timba. Yes it is going to last. As as a matter of fact this has been done for years. Cuban music has a strong base, from a strong tradition and timba is the logical generational evolution.
