Trivia anyone?

As far as I know,you might be talking about descendants of Haitian which might get in to the Cuban Music,but Haitian when comming to Cuba were following their own heritage, not trying to get in to Cuban Music,they keep it to themself.It takes one or two generations to do the transition and adaptability to new culture,which at that time they were Cubans.The Dominican connection to Cuba dates back to the initial, the Indian Hatuey came from Dominican,advising the Indigenas in Cuba of the intention of Los Espanoles,and he paid for it being put on fire alive.Carlos Manuel de Cespedez(during Cuban fight for independency)was a Dominican.

Do not forget Ma Teodora, came from Santo Domingo to Cuba.

I'm sorry JC. I believe you are wrong. It's Jellyroll Morton. I'm also referring to the same book. I will double check, but I believe I'm correct!!

Sorry to disagree with you my brother but Jelly Roll was in the 1920's and Gottschalk was the late 1890's....JC JOHNNY CONGA

The original post make a reference to the 1800's which is taking us to Louis Moreau Gottschalk.
