Charanga

Charanga is a vibrant Cuban music genre that emerged in the early 20th century, characterized by its lively orchestration featuring flutes, violins, piano, bass, and percussion. It blends European classical influences with Afro-Cuban rhythms, creating a danceable sound that became the backbone for the popular Danzón style. Known for its elegant yet infectious grooves, Charanga has played a significant role in shaping the evolution of salsa and other Latin dance music.
