Here it says the word is a latin term for a band that plays popular music, but still doesn't explain why it's mostly charanga bands that use the term. I haven't heard of a mambo band that names itself tipica, or a son combo, or timba band all of which have fallen into the popular music category.

some bands also adopts tipica as part of it's name when most of their repertoire includes autochthonous songs from their native country.
Also Charanga is known as the kind of band that mostly plays Pachangas (Charanga La Criolla, Charanga De La 4, Charanga New York, Charanga La Moderna, Charanga La Duboney...)
