  A new track for danzon players and dancers!!!!! (I Part). Music. La Bijirita. SoyCubano
The Danzon, Cuba's national dance for more than a century, was born as an instrumental music style that emerged out of the blend of classical European and Afro-Cuban music forms.
La contradanza, on its way towards becoming el danzon, became la danza, la danza habanera and then simply the famous Habanera, which still exists and growing in popularity at the festival held every year during the month of November in Havana, parallel to the celebrations of "the city anniversary".
Danzon became Cuba's national dance form, and represented a logical, evolutionary phenomenon, a synthesis of its antecedents, giving rise to a superior sound.

Upon the contradanza's arrival in Cuba during the 18th century, it quickly rose to prominence as the island's national dance.
At the close of the 19th century, the Cuban contradanza became freer and more spontaneous, giving way to its evolution into the danzon; originally played by brass bands ("tipicas"), by the 1920s performances were dominated by charangas, ensembles featuring violin, cello, piano, guiro, clarinet, flute, bass, and double drums.
By the late '30s, the danzon had given birth to the mambo.

 Danzón: National Geographic World Music   (Site not responding. Last check: )
This highly syncopated and repetitive part stimulated dancers to create a new step, one in which they would scrape their feet on the floor in time with the conga drum; we would come to know this dance as the cha-cha-chá, but it wouldn't get its name until 1951.
Until then, all danzones would then be referred to as danzón-mambo.
As the final touches were made to this musical legacy, the new section became an independent style—named in 1951 by violinist Enrique Jorrín, and singers were added to the charanga orchestra as the cha-cha-chá became a vocal style as well as one of the most popular dances of the 20th century.
