Question 3

Casino? I'm here to dance, not gamble."

Accepted Answer

While the rest of the world refers to this music and dance as "salsa," a term primarily used to market both to international audiences, Cubans call their most popular pastime casino. In the 1950s, pre-Cuban revolution, Havana's coast was lined with casinos and clubs where patrons would join sports leagues, participate in social gatherings, and yes, dance. Casino Deportivo de La Habana was one of the most popular among them, becoming known for the notorious bands or conjuntos that played there. It was the place to be if you wanted to dance son, the precursor to all salsas. Eventually, "let's go dance son in the style they do at the casino" was shortened to "let's go dance casino" and here we are now.
