Son Cubano Clasico

Son Cubano Clásico is a richly textured and historically significant music genre from Cuba, characterized by its fusion of Spanish guitar and African rhythms. Emerged in the early 20th century, it intricately combines string instruments, percussion, and vocals, with a frequent call-and-response pattern. This genre often showcases the tres, a distinctive Cuban guitar, and incorporates bongos, claves, maracas, and the double bass, creating captivating melodies and syncopated beats that embody the spirit of Cuban culture. Son Cubano Clásico laid the foundation for later styles like salsa and has been kept alive through the vibrant performances of legendary groups and artists such as Septeto Nacional de Ignacio Piñeiro and Abelardo Barroso, who are celebrated for their storytelling lyrics, vibrant compositions, and intrinsic connection to the festive and communal essence of Cuban life.
