Son

Son is a vibrant and foundational genre of Afro-Cuban music that blends Spanish guitar traditions with African rhythms, creating infectious, syncopated grooves. Characterized by call-and-response vocals, intricate percussion, and melodic lines driven by instruments like the tres, trumpet, and bongos, son serves as the bedrock of modern Latin music styles such as salsa. Artists like Orquesta Failde and Raulin Rosendo have carried its legacy forward, infusing traditional elements with contemporary energy. Defined by rhythmic clave patterns and poetic lyricism, son captures the soul of Cuban and Caribbean identity, celebrating everyday life, love, and resilience through its pulsating, danceable beats.
