Cuban Overture is a symphonic overture or tone poem for orchestra composed by American composer George Gershwin. Originally titled Rumba, it was a result of a two-week holiday which Gershwin took in Havana, Cuba in February 1932. Gershwin composed the piece in July and August 1932.
The overture is dominated by Caribbean rhythms and Cuban native percussion, with a wide spectrum of instrumental color and technique. It is a rich and exciting work with complexity and sophistication, illustrating the influence of Cuban music and dance. Its main theme was influenced by a then current hit by Ignacio Piñeiro, "Échale Salsita".
Other songs referenced by the piece's themes and phrases include the traditional folk song La Paloma.
The work under the title Rumba received its première at New York's now-demolished Lewisohn Stadium on 16 August 1932, as part of an all-Gershwin programme held by New York Philharmonic. The concert was a huge success. As Gershwin wrote:

Gershwin : Ouverture cubaine (Orchestre national de France)
L'Orchestre national de France placé sous la direction de Dalia Stasevska joue l'Ouverture cubaine composée par George Gershwin en 1932.
Le 16 août 1932, Gershwin présentait sa Cuban Ouverture (d’abord simplement intitulée Rumba) au Lewisohn Stadium : Albert Coates y dirige le New York Philharmonic Orchestra. Longtemps connue sous le titre de Rumba, l’œuvre résulte de vacances passées à La Havane : Gershwin y aurait mené « la grande vie » en compagnie d’un ami, Emil Mosbacher, et un orchestre de rumba serait venu jouer sous les fenêtres de sa suite à l’Hôtel Almendares, ce qui aurait fasciné le compositeur, comme on peut en entendre l’écho dans cette Ouverture cubaine : variété des percussions (maracas, bongos, etc.) et efficacité rythmique éblouissante.
