It's hard to believe that the Santaigeros would follow the stylistic changes in Havana, without their own inventos being added over time.
And it's easy to imagine that in this case some Habaneros will look down on the Santiagueros, claiming that they possess the right to define what is correct and what is not, and which is the only direction for stylistic evolution.
Vice versa, some Santiagueros smile over the Tumba Francesa performed by the Conjunto Folklórico in Havana.
People are so eager to be proud of just their little something.
