Cuban Son Complex - the roots of Cuban music

Cuban music is a large diaspora, but can be broadly divided in 5 styles generics. This is the Son, Rumba, Cuban song, Danzon, and point. In this article, the first will be discussed, and best-known style of Cuban music, son.

The music first child in Cuba - Nengon

Nengon could be the father of two Changüí music and Cuban son, as we know it today. Nengon become Changüí at Guantanamo and the son (the sub-style, not the general style) inSantiago de Cuba Kiribati, which we discuss later, also had a role in Changüí nengon when fused with. Nengon is recognizable by its constant changes of the singer and a choir.

Nengon is traditionally played with tingotalango or tumbandera. Basically, the tingotalango is from a tree, a rope is tied to them and to be demolished. The other end is then tied to a rock in a hole as a function of contra-bass. Of course, the longer marimbula after its inventionand, finally, the bass is used.

Nengon modern plays with an ensemble Changüí, so that seen from a practical standpoint, this is nengon play with a group, if the parties are much simpler and with little or no syncope. Clave like to know now, had not yet been invented, so that the time has simply run straight quarter notes.

Kiribati - Music From Cuba Baracoa

Kiribati comes from the region of Baracoa, Cuba, is the occasion when Changüí was created. Changüí was inventedwhere Kiribati is nengon together in a fusion of styles 2 join. The child was the result of a development nengon no bearing on Kiribati.

As official emblem kiribati nengon is sung of constant change of verse improvisation by a soloist and a choir. In general, he played with tres Kiribati, bongos, maracas, guiro and marimbula, (the ensemble is similar) with the Changüí. Nengon and Kiribati in the mountain regions of Santiago de Cuba, and practicedGuantanamo.

Changüí - traditional music from Cuba, Guantanamo

Changüí was specifically born in the province of Guantanamo, Cuba (the area of Baracoa) from the merger of nengon and Kiribati. We discussed above nengon and Kiribati, but many people still ask when is a song or nengon Changüí or kiribati? You will probably receive some conflicting answers, depending on who you ask. It 'pretty simple to solve an academic standpoint, but you will probably have some questions. Letanswer.

So if we can say that is played rather nengon Changüí? Most musicologists say he is the instrumentation. If the ensemble consists of Bongo, tres cubano, Guay, marimbula, and a singer, play Changüí. It 'also important to recognize that not Changüí (and Kiribati and nengon), which is now thought of as the son clave. All these styles had played on the wrist breaks down, usually by Guay in Changüí.

AMusicians overlooking Changüí

Musicians who play these styles are often a song is a Changüí always the bongo player and tres player who plays very syncopated lines, 16 have lost to know before you start. Remember, if this is the real difference between Changüí and the old-style instrumentation and repetitive chorus and singing in nengon and Kiribati.

Another problem is that someone who plays from Guantanamo Bay "Cuban music is often seena changuicerro. A good example is Elio Reve, the Son does play with some elements Changüí, but this type of Cuban music is truly the Son Moderno.

Conclusion

You may ask why so much emphasis on the eastern part of Cuba is not that there is no music in western and central, has become just different. There are some sub-styles of the child from these regions, in particular Sucu-Sucu, musicologists, but most agree that the child is bornin the mountains of Oriente (Santiago de Cuba and Guantanamo).
