Cuban music has incorporated influences from France, Spain, Portugal, Africa, the United States and Great Britain, and various other sources over time.

The 1950s Cha-cha-cha was extremely popular. It is a slower and simplified descendant of the Mambo, created for the non-Cuban (mainly U.S.) audience, which had some problems with the heavily syncopated Mambo. Because of its more simple structure, the Cha-cha-cha is easier to dance to, so it didn't take long for it to become very popular and successful.
