An example of this is the process of binarization of ternary rhythms brought from Africa, which took place originally in Cuba, later spreading throughout the rest of the Caribbean and <a href="/wiki/Latin_America" title="Latin America">Latin America</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Perez_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Perez-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The presence of syncopated <a href="/wiki/Polyrhythms" class="mw-redirect" title="Polyrhythms">polyrhythms</a> of African origin makes most tropical music naturally dance-oriented.

It was not until the 19th century that tropical music became a global phenomenon with the popularization of Cuban <a href="/wiki/Contradanza" title="Contradanza">contradanza</a> (also known as habanera). Cuba would continue to spearhead the development of tropical music with other ballroom music styles, as well as the <a href="/wiki/Bolero" title="Bolero">bolero</a> and <a href="/wiki/Son_cubano" title="Son cubano">son cubano</a>. The <a href="/wiki/Dominican_Republic" title="Dominican Republic">Dominican Republic</a> contributed with <a href="/wiki/Merengue_music" title="Merengue music">merengue</a> and <a href="/wiki/Bachata_(music)" title="Bachata (music)">bachata</a>, two very successful genres, while <a href="/wiki/Puerto_Rican_music" class="mw-redirect" title="Puerto Rican music">Puerto Rican music</a> is exemplified by relatively minor genres such as <a href="/wiki/Bomba_(Puerto_Rico)" title="Bomba (Puerto Rico)">bomba</a> and <a href="/wiki/Plena" title="Plena">plena</a>. The very popular <a href="/wiki/Cumbia" title="Cumbia">cumbia</a> and <a href="/wiki/Vallenato" title="Vallenato">vallenato</a> originated on the coasts of <a href="/wiki/Colombia" title="Colombia">Colombia</a>. </p><p>Tropical music would have a long-lasting impact in the music of other regions beyond the Caribbean such as the <a href="/wiki/United_States" title="United States">United States</a> (where <a href="/wiki/Rhumba" title="Rhumba">rhumba</a> and <a href="/wiki/Salsa_music" title="Salsa music">salsa</a> were primarily developed), Africa (where <a href="/wiki/Soukous" title="Soukous">soukous</a> was developed), and South America. For example, in Chile, tropical music genres were progressively introduced depending on their popularity in the Caribbean and North America. Thus, genres such as <a href="/wiki/Guaracha" title="Guaracha">guaracha</a>, <a href="/wiki/Mambo_(music)" title="Mambo (music)">mambo</a>, <a href="/wiki/Cha-cha-cha_(music)" class="mw-redirect" title="Cha-cha-cha (music)">cha cha cha</a> and later <a href="/wiki/Cumbia" title="Cumbia">cumbia</a> made their way into the radios and concert halls of Chile between the 1930s and 1960s.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-musicpopular_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-musicpopular-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Tropical music enjoys a dedicated global following among music fans and record collectors.
