Timba Street (Uncredited)

Timba Street

Timba is the fusion of the Son Montuno, Cuban Rumba, and Afro-Cuban rhythms. Timba, or modern Cuban Salsa, at its most energetic and multifaceted, is an urban expression that fuses native African and Cuban rhythms, as well as Afro-American Funk, Jazz, Soul, and Go-Go.  Aramis Pazos Barrera, a native of the neighborhood El Cerro in Havana, Cuba and director of Timba Street, gathered this group of talented musicians to continue to promote the tradition of Cuban Salsa in the United States.  He and his musicians want to introduce Americans to the lesser known, truer to its origins and most modern style of Salsa, one that is different from its Puerto Rican counter-part and from the Romantic Salsa of other countries. The 11 members of Timba Street Cuban Band are from different parts of D.
