A style of Cuban or Latin American music and dance with African and Spanish influences, or a female guitarist/singer performing this style.
From Spanish guajiro (peasant, farmer) plus feminine ending -a. Originated in rural Cuba, combining Spanish guitar traditions with African rhythms brought by enslaved peoples.
Guajira music perfectly captures Cuban history: the Spanish guitar, African rhythms, and rural traditions merged by colonialism into something entirely new—you hear four continents in one song.
