A repeated melodic and rhythmic figure in the lower register of the piano is typical of the Afro-Cuban

dance music known as
A. mambo.
B. guaguanco.
C. reggae.
D. salsa.

Answer 1

The correct answer is A. mambo. It was developed in Cuba by people who were of African origins and it was inspired by Congolese culture. It was simple to learn and had a lot of improvisations, but its ultimate goal was connecting yourself to music and in turn to gods of Ancient Africa. It was created in the 30s.
