Clave es Llave Llave es Clave Origin of Afro-Cuban Music

• Spanish & African Music in Cuba • ‘Son Cubano’ developed early 1900s •Combines: Spanish Melody & Harmony African Rhythm • Bands grew; Mambo Bands evolved • Like Early Jazz –> Swing evolution Latin Music / Latin Jazz

• Vague & General, a ‘Fish Sandwich’ • Could Include: Afro-Cuban, Cu-Bop, Bossa Nova, Samba, Spanish Jazz, Salsa, Cumbia, Afro-Caribbean, Merengue, Tango … • Usually implies ‘none of the above’ a washed-out generic Latin, or songs such as Caravan & Night in Tunisia In fact, if you can’t manage to put tinges of Spanish in your tunes, you will never be able to get the right seasoning, I call it, for jazz
