Son

Son is a Cuban musical style and genre of Cuban popular music that originated in the 1920s. It is a fusion of Spanish and African musical elements, such as Spanish guitar and African percussion. The style is characterized by a two-part vocal structure, with the lead vocal being sung over a rhythm guitar and percussion. Its lyrics often deal with topics such as love, nostalgia, and politics. The style has been popularized by Cuban artists such as Celia Cruz and Beny Moré, and has been influential in the development of salsa, rumba, and Latin jazz.
