Charanga

Charanga is a Cuban musical style that combines European and African influences. It originated in the 19th century when slaves were brought to Cuba from Africa and Europe. The style is characterized by its use of flute, violin, and piano, and its syncopated rhythms. It is usually played as a dance music and often features call-and-response vocals. Charanga has evolved over the years to include a variety of Latin music genres such as salsa and merengue.
