Cuban music.
Cuba probably has one of the most festive and lively types of music in the entire world.
It summons people from all walks of life, even people from different countries and cultures. Their music can lift people’s spirits and can put smiles on faces.
When you hear their music, you’d immediately know it’s theirs. Cuban music also has an influence on other music genres from different parts of the globe.
According to Wikipedia:
“Since the 19th-century Cuban music has been hugely popular and influential throughout the world. It has been perhaps the most popular form of regional music since the introduction of recording technology. Cuban music has contributed to the development of a wide variety of genres and musical styles around the globe, most notably in Latin America, the Caribbean, West Africa, and Europe. Examples include rhumba, Afro-Cuban jazz, salsa, soukous, many West African re-adaptations of Afro-Cuban music (Orchestra Baobab, Africando), Spanish fusion genres (notably with flamenco), and a wide variety of genres in Latin America.”
Cuban music can also be adorable.
This particular video will show you how their music affects music lovers of all ages.
In an adorable YouTube video, a little Cuban boy can be seen together with a group of musicians called the Fusion Caribe. It happened in a busy street of Old Havana in Cuba.
With all the tourists and locals surrounding them, the little guy is all set to give them a performance which they’ll never forget.
Are you ready for some Cuban music?
Donning his cute jumpers and white shoes, the little guy holds his guiro (a percussion instrument that is made out of a dried-out gourd). After a couple of seconds of observing, they then start to jump to the beat of their inviting beautiful music.
As the band shows off their advanced set of skills to their native music, the little Cuban joins the ride.
He starts hitting his musical instrument like a real pro.
But when the band members begin busting their moves, that’s where the crowd starts cheering for the little performer.
He breaks loose into a professional street performer!
He drops a funky hip dance all the while hitting his tiny instrument with all his might.
The crowd lets out a loud wave of cheer for the little guy, some of them also decide to film the adorable performer in front of them.
However, it isn’t specified if the boy is the son of any of the band members or who he truly is. One thing is certain though, he is free to join the party!
It soon becomes a festival!
The Cuban music vibe is contagious in a good way, it brings the performer out from everyone. A couple also joins the fun, even the people dining on the side couldn’t help but watch.
In the latter part of the video, one guy from the band and the young boy go for a showdown.
The grown-up guy sure is groovy, however, the young fella is not letting him own the spotlight. His little and raw movements make everything more fun to watch. Just listen to the people’s cheers, it only proves who’s the real star of the show.
The video has already racked over 8.8 million views which is no longer a surprise. It only shows how people appreciate good music, and of course, an adorable performer!
