Son Cubano
The cobblestone street already knows the next chord by heart.
Son Cubano is a style from the The Party That Never Ends family. 95 BPM, Weirdness 14, Style Influence 97.
A Cuban tres guitar ringing out and a bongó in full conversation. Son cubano, the root of all Caribbean music, is warm, elegant, and as timeless as Havana itself.

Sample excerpt
Mi abuelo afinaba el tres en el portal a las seis, decía que la música se toca a la hora fresca. Yo aprendí sentado en el escalón de abajo, mirándole las manos y sin preguntar nada.
Y ahora toco yo en el mismo portal, con el mismo tres y la misma hora. Hay herencias que no pasan por papeles, pasan por las manos y por la tarde.
Workshop note — Primera persona, pretérito a presente, patrimonial. El son alterna largo y montuno: la estrofa narra y el estribillo se abre al coro. A 95 BPM el acento cae en el cuatro, así que la palabra fuerte del verso va al final.
