	Son of the Timba
		As time went by timba became the definition for a tropical fruit called guava that when turned into a candied fruit bar and added to bread formed a snack known as pan con timba (bread with timba), ideal to satisfy the gluttony between meals accompanied by a good miloddo (water with sugar).
		The timba, as an attitude towards the music, was always present in the musical atmosphere throughout the Island, occupying along with the son a space in the dancers’ preference beyond any other semantic definition.
		There is timba, in an unconscious way, in the glances of the travelers that arrive to this country and try to imitate our form of talking and dancing in a truly transcultural process.

	Timba - New Styles in Afro-Cuban Popular Music
		"Timba is the sound being heard on the island," Formell says, "and it's hard to explain in theory, but the changes we have made are based on the dancers, who for the last five years have been moving differently.
		Timba has added a new part to this form, and in some cases, has altogether changed this part of the Afro-Cuban typical song form.
		Timba is not music to be listened to like so much pap for the masses.

	Interview with Osvaldo Chacón (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		As a musical phenomenon, Timba can transcend its beginnings since it is the music of the new generation, born and developed in all its variations in Cuba, especially in Havana.
		Timba is the result of a historical/musical process where the musicians molded their professional and personal experiences and aspirations.
		Many Timba bands have incorporated Rap into their arrangements and, on occasion, rappers are invited to record with Timba bands.

	Timba Website - José Luis Cortes
		Timba is the sound of Cuba now, a rhythmically dense, relentlessly energetic music played by highly skilled musicians for a demanding dance-floor audience, with lyrics that draw from and become part of the language of the streets.
		"Timba comes from the same root as salsa, but it's harder, fler and easier to dance to," says Ned Sublette, whose small label QBADISC was one of the first to release contemporary Cuban music, including NG's En La Calle, in 1992.
		Although timba has been Cuba's most powerful musical trend in the '90s, no important new bands have emerged recently, and some have broken up or, like Delgado and his band, are living outside the island.

	Advanced: Timba-Modern Cuban Conga Rhythms
		Timba represents a quantum leap for all the instruments of the rhythm section and especially the congas.
		The recordings of Tomás Cruz are considered the most advanced examples of Timba conga-playing and so fascinated the three coauthors that they sought out Tomás Cruz and spent a year and a half studying his style and meticulously documenting it before even considering the idea of publishing it.
		Much more than a collection of patterns or exercises, Volume III analyzes Timba arrangements from beginning to end, explaining the role of the congas in each section, the relationship to the "clave", and Tomasito's creative process, including an exercise which teaches the reader to invent his own Timba conga parts.

		This album included all the elements of what is now known as timba, and the band dominated the scene until the break-up of the original band in 1998 (they have since reformed).
		Many timba bands have otherwise kept the traditional charanga ensemble of the 1940s, which includes double bass, conga, cowbell, clave, piano, violins, flute and in timba an expanded horn section that (in addition to the traditional trumpets and trombones) may include saxophones.
		However, many innovations were made in the style of playing and the arrangements, especially on the bass (with elements of funk and RandB), the piano (with elements of baroque music such as Bach), the horns (complex arrangements known as "champolas"), and the use of the clave.

		Timba was simply a rumba itself or a party at which rumba was played, perhaps in the patio of a solar.
		Orovio also noted the fact that the term “timba” was something that rumberos applied to rumba and so it is most appropriate that it be applied to a new music marked by the incorporation of rumba (see Chapter 2, discussing the uses of the term “timba”).
		Timba is a music of fusion—a fusion of elements from jazz, Salsa, son, rap, funk and reggae, as well as the Afrocuban genres of rumba, conga, Santería, Palo Monte, and Abakuá.

		Enter the enchanted world of Timba, where animals talk, a rich history is revealed that the player must learn in order to solve puzzles, rescue a child who is the world's only hope for the future, find a queen and return her to the throne, and stop an evil queen.
		Eerie places and strange crystal structures that mysteriously surfaced from the waters of Heagaron make for interesting visuals, as the player searches for the evil queen set on destroying the child, and the good queen, who is hidden away somewhere, frozen in time.
		Similar to the adventure game Myst, Timba has over 250 different areas to explore, and many challenging puzzles to solve.

	NG LA BANDA
		The musical genre we now call Timba was created by NG La Banda, but as Cuban music expert Arturo "Marcané" Gómez points out, it was not created out of thin air.
		As our "Genealogy of Timba Family Tree" illustrates, NG began as an all-star group which drew members from the most important pre-Timba bands.
		NG La Banda amalgamated the innovations of the groups that came before it with many of its own to create a type of music that wasn't Son, Songo or Rumba - nor was it Rock, Jazz or Funk.

		Timba, on the other hand isn't linear like that due to its rarified birth on an island nation living under some extreme and unique pressures.
		You can't just listen to timba once or twice and come up with a verdict on whether you like it or not, because the timba landscape is so varied.
		Dancing to timba is forcing me to become more versatile and responsive to whatever is presented to my ears.

		But basically, timba, what it is, is the mixture of jazz with Cuban son, but with new instruments like drums, keyboards and electronic instruments.
		But they've incorporated [timba] in their electronic keyboards, artistic arrangements; they are like a timbified charanga ["charanga timbistica"].

		Gonzalo: I think one of the interesting characteristics of the group is that we play Timba, but that the Timba we play sounds different precisely because we don't have any Cubans in the group.
		As a composer and an arranger, Timba opens a space for me because it is complex and has been influenced by other styles.
		The Timba seed has been spread throughout Europe and Asia, but in Latin America, with the exception of Mexico because there is a sort of bridge betwen Mexico and Cuba, in the rest of Latin America you don't hear much Timba.

	, ergo we can't include 'quandaryheader.html' like we do elsewhere -->
		For making Timba, Marcia Kinney used the Adventure Maker program and, with the help of the artwork of MaryAnn Sterling, she has fashioned a quite impressive world sprinkled with puzzles.
		Still because Timba is so skewed toward abstract puzzles, even the story or the 'history' is ultimately a puzzle; it fits more comfortably under the 'puzzle' label rather than the 'adventure' label.
		As a home-grown shareware game put together by one person, Timba has some rough edges and, of course, it lacks the sophistication of the big commercial games (there are no voices, only music); but it's still big and beautiful and eminently playable.

	TOsalsa Discussion Forum: Cuban Timba Music Discussion Part 2
		95% of the time you still hear cuban music in salsa,if you are going to call salsa songs that have son and bomba ok but what about the other songs that are straight son or timba that type of music is not salsa and that is where the argument starts.
		you say that salsa is light years ahead from son?tradditional son maybe but songo or timba has been a head of salsa 20 years ago,or just listen to the last cd of Sonora Carruseles and the last cd of Bamboleo or Klimax and sonora would dream to play like that one day.
		Maybe they don't know how to dance to Timba or they are just to proud to dance another way.
