Again,
you have to be a musical historian or really give a hoot in order to know about "the son"
reggae music is known WORLDWIDE that it comes from jamaica
same with JAZZ and HIPHOP
rock n roll???
AMERICA!
bossa nova?
BRAZIL

yes, other islands such as Anguilla has their own culture and musicians (shout out to The Mussingtons, Sprocka, Banky Banx and British Dependency) but that don't mean it's widely known
this was about a one country having more or less "culture" than another.

fact remains Jamaica has a bigger cultural influence on music than cuba does/did
