Michael
Terrace
The
dance contest became the main attraction,
it was to witness a scene of dirty dancing in
mambo jazz tempo. With in its combination of street
style hip-moving mambo and rumba dancing, the
mood was overwhelmingly provocative, sensual and
always mesmerizing. Americans would use the phrase
“shave and a haircut; shampoo!” to
simulate the beat until it became synonymous with
“Via, means go-go-go!” Trumpets blared

'EL
CAJON' ORIGIN
The
peruvian slaves simply used boxes as musical
instruments to combat contemporary Spanish
colonial bans on music in predominantly
African areas. In this way, cajóns

musical instruments. In all likelihood
it is a combination of these factors -
African origins and Spanish suppression
of slave music - that led to the cajón's
creation...more
