Originated in eastern Cuban Oriente-province (Santiago de Cuba and Guantánamo region) late-19th-century out of changüí proto-son rural-Afro-Spanish-fusion, with classic ensemble of tres (small three-double-course guitar), Spanish guitar, bass (originally botija jug-bass, later contrabass), bongos, claves, and maracas. Migrated to Havana in the 1920s where the sexteto-and-septeto urban-commercial codification (adding trumpet) made son the international Cuban-music ambassador. The clave 3-2 (or reversed 2-3) two-bar wood-block rhythm anchors all son derivatives; the verse-montuno structure (canto verse-section, montuno call-and-response open-improvisation section) defines all subsequent Caribbean popular-song architectures.", "recipe": "classic Caribbean mid-1900s son cubano, groove Percussion, son salsa branch, rumba Cuban rumba cubana yambú. kargyraa, breath veiled
