Cuban NYC is centered in Union City, New Jersey.
Cuba is the sacred heart of Latin culture in the Americas. Havana was the center of colonial Spanish power in the Americas. Whatever happened in Cuba, spread across the Spanish-speaking world, including back to Spain. That is still true.
Cuban Rumba is one of the taproots of what we now call Latin music. Cuban Son evolved into Salsa in New York City and Timba in Cuba.

Cuba is the Sacred Heart of Latin Culture in the Americas
Cuba is the sacred heart of Latin culture in the Americas because it was Spain’s main colonial port. Whatever happened in Cuba spread across the Spanish Americas and even back to Spain (Rumba Flamenca).
In modern times, American gangsters and big business took over, so Cuba expelled the Americans which earned it great respect across Latin America.
A lot of Latin music and Latin dance is originally Cuban. Lucumí, the beautiful African Diaspora religion, is the root of many Latin music traditions. It becomes secular in Rumba. 1950s Cuban dance music evolved into Salsa in New York City, and Timba in Havana.

Pedrito Martinez Brings Cuban Rumba & Timba to Brooklyn
Pedrito Martinez plays Cuban Rumba and Timba at Roulette Intermedium in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn on Sat, Apr 23 at 8pm. From $25. robertbrowningassociates.com 🇨🇺
“Rumba” means party, but is just 0ne step removed from the religious traditions where most music, dance and theatre begin. Even though it’s just a party, if you spend any time in the Rumba, you can’t help but feel its spiritual roots. It feels good, real good. It’s healing.
In Havana, Cuba, Rumba from Matanzas mixed with Changüi from Santiago and Jazz horns into Son Cubano. In New York City, Son evolved into Salsa. At the same time in Cuba, Son evolved into Timba by absorbing the bass drum and other elements from R&B and Rock. But Timba still keeps a strong Clave rhythm. It’s Latin dance music.
Pedrito isn’t a Salsero, but can take you through all the rest. The purpose of African Diaspora traditions (Latin music and dance) is to bring communities together. So when Pedrito gives the call, the community responds. He really is the world’s first-call Rumbero. This is more than a show. It’s the Pedrito Martinez Experience ~ in Brooklyn.

Cuban culture has a big influence on the world, far beyond its size. A lot of Caribbean culture is really Cuban culture. During the Colonial Period, Havana was one corner of the triangular trade, so whatever happened in Cuba spread across the Spanish Americas and even influenced Spain. Later, standing up to the Americans gave Cuba a unique credibility.
