Cuban Timba is a diverse style, drawing on jazz, funk, disco, hip hop and rock, together with Cuban folkloric elements. NG La Banda, organised by flutist José Luis Cortés ("El Tosco"), are credited with making first timba album, En La Calle, in 1989. However, the timba explosion is regarded as having been triggered by David Calzado y su Charanga Habanera's 1992 debut album Me Sube La Fiebre. Key timba acts of the period include Bamboleo, Issac Delgado, Manolín "El Médico de la Salsa", Manolito y su Trabuco and Paulo FG. By the mid-2000s, rap and reggaetón had largely influenced timba in Cuba, while Miami and Europe have become centres for the music outside the island. Sergio George's mid-'90s productions for Puerto Rican sonero Victor Manuelle are early examples of successfully adapting timba for the US Latin market. - John Child
