Septeto Santiaguero

Septeto Santiaguero is one of the best Cuban son bands working today. They are from Santiago de Cuba in eastern Cuba and play traditional son with contemporary influences.

Cuban Trova, the revolutionary folk music, and several members of the Buena Vista Social Club are from Santiago de Cuba as well.

In fact, some say Septeto Santiaguero is the successor to the Buena Vista Social Club. It makes sense because the Buena Vista Social Club was old timers playing old musical styles. Septeto Santiaguero is younger musicians playing old musical styles.

The lineup is:

  • Fernando Dewar: Tres, chorus and music direction
  • Inocencio Heredia: Vocals and percussion
  • Giraldo Bravo: Vocals and percussion
  • Rudens Matos: Vocals and percussion
  • Alain Dragoní: Trumpet
  • Dairon Robert: Bass
  • Carlos Danger: Bongos, cowbell and chorus
  • Gabriel Montero: Congas

For more information about the band, visit elseptetosantiaguero.net


Cuban Son (Son Cubano)

Son is the root Afro-Cuban music that originated in eastern Cuba in the 19th century and later evolved into what we now call salsa and Latin music.

Its roots are Spanish and African. The vocals and tres (Cuban guitar) have Spanish roots. The clave beat (. . . – . .  or . . – . . . ), call and response vocals, and percussion have Bantu (Central African) roots.

You can dance salsa to this, although the music is not salsa. And you should probably dance Cuban style on 1 instead of Puerto Rican New York Salsa on 2.
