VOICED : Danzon el baile nacional de Cuba que sobrevivio en Mexico

The video explores the danzón, Cuba's national dance, and its cultural significance in Mexico. Originating from the French contradanza, it was first performed by Miguel Faildé in 1879. The dance spread to Mexico through Yucatán and Veracruz, gaining popularity via 1940s films. While Cuba considers it a national dance, it thrives more in Mexico's public and cultural events. Danzón features a repetitive estribillo and a lively montuno. Efforts to revitalize it in Cuba include an international festival in Matanzas.
