Son is a vibrant Afro-Cuban music genre that blends Spanish melodies with African rhythms, serving as the foundation for many Latin American styles, including salsa. Characterized by syncopated percussion, lively horn sections, and call-and-response vocals, son features instruments like the tres guitar, bongos, maracas, and clave. Lyrics often tell poetic or humorous stories of daily life, love, and cultural pride. Over time, son has evolved with jazz, timba, and big band influences, creating diverse interpretations while maintaining its infectious, danceable pulse.
