Timba is a well known genre of music in Cuba. You can dance to timba as well as play timba music. This video shows how to play timba on congas, which is pretty cool. The guy in the video teaches the various patterns of timba that are very different from mambo or son. He describes timba style as adding your own spice and heart into the music, which shows the connection between people and their music.
This video is really cool, it really focuses on the drumming aspect of this genre. I find the genre very interesting and very simplistic. I can really see myself listening to this a lot.
