Cuban rock
Rock and roll in Cuba began in the late 1950s, with many Cuban artists of the time covering American songs translated into Spanish, as was occurring in Mexico at the same time. "The Batista police never looked kindly on Rock and Roll, and much less after the screening of films like ''Rebel Without a Cause'' and ''The Bad Seed'', among others. After 1959, Rock and Roll followed the same path, although artists like Argentinean Luis Aguile emerged."
When Cuba and the United States broke relations, some people considered rock "the music of the enemy, the language of the enemy". Then, there was the time of the Cold War, the Bay of Pigs, the Missile Crisis and the uprising of armed bands throughout the country. Nevertheless, rock continued to be played. And though it didn’t have a good reputation, it was tolerated. And though somehow its performers were considered to have a deviant ideology, many groups continued playing the genre. Among these were included Los Vampiros and Los Satélites. These bands were composed of black people and had a style similar to that of Limbo Rock in the United States. This was the origin of street rock. And the situation continued like that until 1965.〔
The merit of Salvador Terry’s Los Vampiros and Los Satélites is unquestionable. They kept rock alive. In truth, they prevented the death of Cuban Rock and Roll and showed that black and mixed race people also loved it. From 1961 to 1964, they made people put aside the old quarrels and misunderstandings that rock was the music of high life of the white majority.〔
Cuba, in a manner of speaking, is a genuinely musical country. An example of this is that today all the manifestations and subgenres of rock are performed, no matter how atypical they are.〔
