- 2018 March 5, Brian Seibert, “Review: Tapping Out Some New World Rhythms”, in The New York Times[1], →ISSN:
- The programming was far from random. The habanera is a hybrid seed of great potency. An adaptation of the European contradanza by slaves from West Africa, it is not only an early version of a New World rhythm that took over the globe, but also a direct ancestor for much of jazz and rock ‘n’ roll.
- A dance performed to this music.
- 1982 December 27, Edward Rothstein, “Music: 40 Songs of Cuba”, in The New York Times[2], →ISSN, page C12:
- The music of Cuba has had a worldwide influence on forms of song and dance. René Buch who conceived and directed a musical “collage” called “¡Habana!” at the Repertorio Español on East 27th Street, points out the influence on Spain, for example, which received ‘habaneras’ and ‘contradanzas’ from Cuba; in this century, in the 1920's, the “rumba” and such songs as “El Manisero” and “Siboney” made their way north to become part of United States culture.
