The pachanga rhythm developed as an offshoot from the original charanga music played in Cuba and around the Caribbean since the end of the 18th century. Charanga was a mixture of French contradanza and Afro-Caribbean music and dance styles. What distinguishes charanga and pachanga music is that these use different instrumentation, replacing the brass instruments more commonly used in Latin/Caribbean music with flutes and violins. Pachanga music is quite difficult to define. In general, it has a harder and jazzier sound than normal salsa and is often punctuated by catchy extra rhythms (in addition to salsa’s typical four beats) and the clanging sounds of the cowbell. It also usually retains the flute and string instrumentation of charanga.
