This dance opened the eyes of the whole world and consisted of people of all ages and races dancing on the same dance floor. During this period, the United States in particular was able to prosper socially, once opposing cultures and races could now connect with each other through music. Unfortunately, in the late 1950s, Fidel Castro began to take the reins of the Cuban government. When Fidel Castro became dictator, he slammed the door of culture and music in the face of the world. Hopefully one day the world can be more closely bound together around something as simple and pure as music. 1639)
