A rendition of the 1803 contradanza, "San Pascual Bailon" from Cuba. Not sure how accurately it reproduces the 'feel' of the first written Cuban music that features the habanera, but it's quite fascinating to hear how African and European musical creolization in early 19th century Cuba. My next quest is to uncover more samples of Afro-European music created in 16th and 17th century Iberia (zarabande, zapateo, chacona).
