Cuba has been influential in the development of multiple musical styles in the 19th and 20th centuries. Cuban music has its principal roots in Spain and West Africa, but over time has been influenced by diverse genres from different countries.
Cubans love dancing. Many types of dance have originated in Cuba, for example the salsa dance called "casino". Great theatres stage quality plays, an excellent classic ballet, and a very live musical movement, from salsa to jazz and rock and a merge of salsa and jazz called "timba-jazz".

Cuban art is like music and dancing, they were influenced and related to Spain and Africa(western side).
Cuban cuisine is a fusion of Spanish, African and Caribbean cuisines. Cuban recipes share spices and techniques with Spanish and African cooking, with some Caribbean influence in spice and flavor. This results in a unique, interesting and flavorful blend of the several different cultural influences. A small, but noteworthy, Chinese influence can also be accounted for, mainly in the Havana area. During colonial times, Cuba was an important port for trade, and many Spaniards who lived there brought their culinary traditions along with them.As a result of the colonization of Cuba by Spain, one of the main influences on the cuisine is from Spain. Along with Spain, other culinary influences include Africa, from the Africans that were brought to Cuba as slaves, and Dutch, from the French colonists that came to Cuba from Haiti. Another important factor is that Cuba itself is an island, making seafood something that greatly influences Cuban cuisine. Another contributing factor to Cuban cuisine is the fact that Cuba is in a tropical climate. The tropical climate produces fruits and root vegetables that are used in Cuban dishes and meals.
