Our Story

We decided to share with you a short story which lies at the root of why we decided to do what we do.

Salsa, Timba and Popular Latin Dance Music in general is a worldwide phenomenon whose popularity has been rising steadily since the ’60s, when it was originally developed. It is fair to say that a large part of this global interest lies on the “dance side of things” with thousands of people around the world keen to join salsa dance classes and similar events.

This is however, not the only way of venturing into world of latin music: these infectious rhythms have inspired the hands of musicians as well as the feet of the dancers.

Throughout history, Popular Latin Dance Music has long struggled to be recognized officially by music institutions and up to this day, despite its complexity and refinedness, it has not yet found a an official spot in Conservatoires. It was born and developed in the streets of the barrios (neighbourhoods) of the Spanish- Speaking Caribbean and New York City. In Cuba, during the 90’s , Conservatoire-trained musicians revolutionised the genre introducing elements of Classical music and Jazz as well as North-American Music but in spite of this, Sheet Music and Transcriptions are very hard if not impossible to find. This makes it very hard for aspiring Salsa and Timba musicians to gain a deep and comprehensive understanding of the technical details of the genre.

With regards to the Timba genre, there is also another reason behind the lack of learning materials and this is where it gets interesting as it comes as a direct consequence of the Political and Economical situation in Post Revolutionary Cuba.

After the Revolution, Cuba entered a period of Economic Crisis and there wasn’t much earning potential as far as recorded music, additionally economic reforms to music recording and contracting meant that records didn’t play an economically significant roles in musicians’ lives. Musicians earned their bread and butter mainly by playing live gigs. Bands quickly realised that focusing all of their efforts on live performances was the way forward. Anyone who has been to a Timba gig will have realised that the live version of the songs played is often much longer than the recorded version you listen to on CDs or Itunes. This is because Live Timba is more than just a performance: It’s an Interactive Experience between the Band and the Audience. The Band assesses the vibe of the audience and creates arrangements on the spot extending the performance through improvisation and moving between different sections through the use of what became known as gears until it feels that the audience has received a satisfactory “Dose” of the tune in question.
