The history of Cuba is marked by colonization, revolution, and resilience. Cuban culture is a vibrant blend of African, Spanish, and indigenous influences. This fusion is evident in the music, dance, art, and cuisine.
Music and dance are part of people’s lives. The island is the birthplace of several musical genres, including son, salsa, and mambo. These genres are characterized by their contagious rhythms and are accompanied by energetic dances.
- Son: A traditional genre that combines Spanish guitar with African rhythms.
- Salsa: A lively dance music that has gained international popularity.
- Mambo: A genre that blends jazz with Afro-Cuban rhythms.
The passion and skill of Cuban musicians and dancers are truly captivating. By immersing in the island’s history, music, art, cuisine, and customs, you can gain a deeper appreciation for the resilience and vibrancy of the Cuban people.
The University of the Arts was created as the Instituto Superior de Arte (ISA) in 1976. With the inauguration of the ISA, university education for the arts was opened in Cuba, the third level of a structure that had begun in 1962 with the founding of the National School of Arts (ENA). At its headquarters in Havana, the University of the Arts has six faculties: Music, Theater Art, Dance Art, Visual Arts, Audiovisual Media Art, and Cultural Heritage Conservation Art. To impact the development of Cuban art and culture with a humanistic approach, through the training of artists with the highest academic preparation and social commitment. contacto@isa.cult.cu
