guaguanco?

[Richie Blondet]

I just hear rumba on tumbadoras, no montuno on tumbadoras.

The "Son montuno" is the piano. The percussion is still playing in 6/8 Rumba time. The rumba feel is still there during the coro section, but the rest of the rhythm section dominates over the tumba licks and subsequent improvisation that the folkloric "feel" shifts somewhat. It is still highly appropriate (and recommended) to dance rumba and NOT 2,3,4 5,6,7 [or on the "1" which would *look* horrible].

To me.. casino a tiempo would look and feel very appropriate.


Definitely agree with contra tempo and straight salsa .

He has a lot of good tracks. As you may already know. Perla fina is my fave by him - got it when I hadn't been into salsa for long and still love it. I think it's also his most famous track.

it would be fun to make a list of all those guaguancós dedicated to a barrio

Conjunto Casablanca - Jesús del Monte se la comió
Chappotín - Y El Vedado qué
Conjunto de Luis Santi - Santos Suarez te tocó
Arsenio Rodríguez - Pueblo Nuevo se pasó
Conjunto Casino - Ya Mantilla se botó

For contrast, here's a guaracha from 1948 with similar lyrical content

Conjunto Casino - A los muchachos de Belén

No le gusta?

As a guaguancó, or even a guaguancó de salon, no. Nor to dance to at all. Maybe to listen to in background.
Burning am taking zoom classes for actual guaguancó (and doing poorly lol) and I can't sully my ears.
