The first African drums were heard in Cuba, since the 16th century, only during the celebration of certain feasts, such as the Día de Reyes (Three Kings Day) and Carnestolendas or Carnival, because their use was restricted to some mutual aid societies, called "Cabildos de nación", where the slaves and their descendants were allowed to gather and practice their cultural and religious traditions.

dbo:abstract
  • The first African drums were heard in Cuba, since the 16th century, only during the celebration of certain feasts, such as the Día de Reyes (Three Kings Day) and Carnestolendas or Carnival, because their use was restricted to some mutual aid societies, called "Cabildos de nación", where the slaves and their descendants were allowed to gather and practice their cultural and religious traditions. The music and dance of the Cuban Carnival was always very popular in Cuba, and has exerted an important influence in other genres of the Cuban music, such as the "Conga de Salón" and the "Mozambique" rhythm. the Cuban Conga has transcended the national frontiers to become one of the most famous and cherished genres of the Cuban music outside the country, like the well known Congas de Salón from the late 1930s and early 1940s Bim Bam Bum, from Rafael Hernández and Uno, dos y tres, from Rafael Ortiz, which at a later time was known in English as: One, two, three, Kick! Most recently, in 1985, the famous "Conga" from the Cuban-American group Miami Sound Machine, triggered a true frenzy in the US and all around the world. Its success is only comparable to the popularity of the 1930s Conga de Salón or the Conga lines of Desi Arnaz during the 1950s. (en)
  • Los primeros tambores africanos se escucharon en Cuba desde el siglo XVI durante ciertas fiestas, como la del Día de Reyes y la de Carnestolendas o Carnaval, ya que su uso estaba restringido al ámbito de sociedades de ayuda mutua, llamadas Cabildos de Nación, donde se permitía a los esclavos y sus descendientes reunirse para cultivar su cultura y religión. La música y la danza del Carnaval cubano fue siempre muy popular en Cuba, y ha ejercido una importante influencia en otros géneros de la música cubana, tal como la Conga de Salón y el ritmo Mozambique.​ La Conga cubana ha trascendido las fronteras nacionales para convertirse en uno de los más conocidos y apreciados géneros de la música cubana en el extranjero, como las famosas Congas de salón de finales de los años treinta y principios de los cuarenta Bim Bam Bum, de Rafael Hernández y Uno dos y tres, de Rafael Ortiz, la que más tarde se hizo popular en inglés como: One, two, three, Kick!​Más recientemente, en 1985, la famosa Conga del grupo Cubano-americano Miami Sound Machine, desencadenó un verdadero furor en los Estados Unidos y alrededor del mundo. Su éxito solamente puede ser comparado a la popularidad que alcanzó la Conga de salón en los Estados Unidos y Europa durante los años treinta, o a las líneas de Conga popularizadas por Desi Arnaz en los años cincuenta.​ (es)
