Punto Guajiro
By Jon Griffin
Description
Punto Guajiro (also called Punto Cubano) is the country music from
the Western and Central provinces of Cuba. This style began to become
popular around the end of the 18th century, mainly as a social event.
Remember that in the east there were changuis, in Havana and Matanzas
there were rumba's. The punto is the same thing, a party in which the
music played became a genre.
