Guajiras
This is a result from an "ida y vuelta" exchange between Europe and the New World. It is said that guajiras started in Spain but finished developing in America, mainly in Cuba.
Guajiras came from the music of farmers, with roots from Andalucia, who worked in Cuba. These farmers were known as guajiros, hence the name of the dance.
The result of the exchange is a beautiful palo of a twelve-count tropical rythm.
