Son Cubano

Son Cubano is a vibrant and influential genre that originated in the eastern regions of Cuba in the late 19th century, blending Spanish guitar melodies with African rhythms and percussion. Characterized by its distinctive syncopated clave rhythm and call-and-response vocal patterns, Son Cubano laid the groundwork for many subsequent Latin music styles, including salsa. Its rich tapestry of instruments, such as the tres guitar, bongos, and maracas, creates an infectious danceable sound that continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
