While reading the Cuban article, I found a lot of information about the Cuban musical culture. The only thing I did not find was about the Training, etiquette and apparel. Here is some information about these three cultural points that I found from reliable sources:
1. Training- I found in many of the articles that Cuban children receive training as young as 3rd grade, and emphasis is put on ear training.
2. Etiquette- I could only find a few articles in reference to the audience etiquette. I gather that the audience members do not participate as much as other diaspora cultures.
3. Apparel- I found that many different bands have specific uniforms that they wear. I find this very interesting.
