Pianos and Keyboards
World Music includes an Afro-Cuban upright piano and two accordions: a polka
accordion and a tango accordion.
Afro-Cuban Upright Piano
Cuban music has long been an intense melting pot of cultures and styles, mixing
Spanish and West African influences with those from France, Jamaica, the United States,
and other countries. In the 1940s, Chano Pozo and Dizzy Gillespie brought the Afro-
Cuban sound into the world of jazz, and this potent combination has given birth to a
variety of new styles including salsa, merengue, songo, son, mambo, and cha cha.
The Afro-Cuban Upright Piano instrument provides a brighter, sharper sound than the
other pianos created for GarageBand, conjuring the sound of a well-worn piano heard
in a late-night club setting.
