 They might have a point. Danzón has plenty of fans in Cuba, but in Mexico it's gone through a real renaissance in recent years, with dance academies opening all over the country and over a dozen danzón orchestras working in Mexico City alone. And even though it's likely that few of the dancers at the Salón Los Angeles feel a connection to Mexico's African heritage, the so-called Third Route, maybe this identification with the Afro-Cuban danzón is a subconscious way of reclaiming that history.
