Who invented Cuba music?

Cuban music cannot be attributed to a single inventor, as it is a rich tapestry of various influences, including African rhythms, Spanish melodies, and indigenous sounds. Key genres like son, rumba, and salsa evolved over time, reflecting the island's diverse cultural heritage. Prominent figures, such as Buena Vista Social Club artists and musicians like Arsenio Rodríguez, played significant roles in popularizing and shaping Cuban music throughout the 20th century.
