Descarga

Descarga is a musical style originating from Cuba that combines elements of jazz, salsa, Afro-Cuban folkloric music, and Latin rhythms. It emerged in the 1950s as a reaction to the emergence of American jazz in Cuban popular culture. Descarga typically features improvisation, call and response vocals, and complex rhythms. It is known for its upbeat, party-like atmosphere and is often performed in clubs and dance halls.
