Since the 19th century its music has been hugely popular and influential throughout the world. It has been perhaps the most popular form of world music since the introduction of recording technology. The music of Cuba, including the instruments and the dances, is mostly of European (Spanish) and African origin. Most forms of the present day are creolized fusions and mixtures of these two sources. Almost nothing remains of the original Indian traditions.[1] Overview Large numbers of African slaves and European (mostly Spanish) immigrants came to Cuba and brought their own forms of music to the island. European dances and folk musics included zapateo, fandango, paso doble and retambico. Later, northern European forms like minuet, gavotte, mazurka, contradanza, and the waltz appeared among urban whites. There was also an immigration of Chinese indentured laborers later in the 19th century.

  • Philadelphia Urban Seminar Gains Momentum
    Exchange November 3, 2011 Grant Updates Support System for the Blind Millersville is creating a one-of-a-kind support system for students on campus who are blind or vision-impaired thanks to a grant from the Susquehanna Foundation for the Blind (SFB). SFB matched a $25,000 grant from the Bank of New York (BNY) Mellon Mid- Atlantic Charitable Trusts, totaling $50,000. ―The money from the grant will go towards screen reader software, mentoring software and adaptive services for blind students,‖ said Rene Munoz, director of foundation and government support at Millersville, who wrote the grant proposal in 2009. Millersville brought in former SFB president Stephen Patterson as a consultant on this project. ―SFB has a mission to create breakthrough opportunities in education and employment for America’s blind or vision- impaired students, and Millersville was very interested in supporting that mission,‖ said Patterson. ―This program will make Millersville University a first-choice institution for students who are blind or vision-impaired.‖ The grant was used to provide at least one computer in each computer lab with accessible technology for students who are blind or vision-impaired. In addition to collaborating with the Office of Experiential Learning and Career Management to create internships for spring and summer, the University expects to see an increase in internships as well as job placement in subsequent years. ―The core of this program is to prepare students who are blind for the unique challenges with which they are presented when seeking internships and employment,‖ said Megan Soflika, vice president of SFB. ―Currently, the University has six students who are blind, and they are being surveyed so they have a voice in how the program is designed,‖ explains Patterson.
