Afro Cuban

Cuba has a long history of influencing the music and culture of West Africa. It dates back from the 18th Century slave trade to the 1920s when record companies began marketing Cuban music in Africa. The genre really took off in the 1960s and ‘70s when the Cuban administration brought aid to West African countries gaining their independence from France, resulting in an influx of Cuban immigrants to Africa.

Recorded at Laboutique Studios in Dakar, this pack is a Senegalese take on the Afro-Cuban style. The result is a unique hybrid of Latin dance music and West African rhythms. Find horns, hand-made percussive instruments, acoustic and electric guitars, and more. Each sound in this collection will offer a dose of pure joy to your next production, whether its a guitar loop, a horn one-shot, or both.
