Rare Changui Music from Cuba (Part 1)

A message from the taper of this great video:

Hi! Yes I taped that video 2004. I was recording the album, Dime Nague, with Soneros All Stars in Havana and we got a one week break during the recordings, so me and the singer Sinsonte drive down to Guantanamo hoping for a meeting with the changüí-maestro Pipi. And with some help from the local culture-workers we got a private show from the band Pipi y su Changüí.

All the best/Janne Bogdan (www.soneros.com) and (www.soneros-all-stars.com)

Some very special rural music, a rare form known as Changui, prominent in the Guantanamo and Baracoa area. Enjoy! Notice how the bongo is played differently than other musical forms.

Sabian que ... el toque del bongó de monte changüisero tiene técnica y patron que proviene del género haitiano, el petwó. ???

@tallerdesarria Estoy de acuerdo con usted. y yo le pregunto al difunto Ray Barreto,que en paz descanse cuantos chavos gano en vida con el tema de Pastorita.

[gsalazarf]

esa marimbula le daba mucho llenado al tema, aunque es muy discreta su sonada, muy buen video, saludos de "LA CHARANGA DEL BARRIO" orq. de autentica charanga cubana hecha en el Perú...

[tallerdesarria]

bongo in Salsa comes from bongo in Son and not from the bongo

of Changui but Salsa bands have used many songs from Changui

music to adapt them in Salsa like Ray Barreto did with "Pastorita",

for example, one his most popular songs ever.

the problem is with the new generation of Latino taking on from it is

now and not researching enough the roots of that music they love and

many call Salsa by mistake and cause of political circunstances that

forced to be the way it is now..."Salsa" hm

[tallerdesarria]

Anyone saying the bongo player is not right is just an ignorant

cause the music we call salsa comes from this music anybody

that have read a good book about the history of salsa will understand

so well that only we can show respect for everything and every single

note this band plays in this video cause bongo playing in changui

is diferent and they in couple different ways but also when this bongo

man plays his ("floreos") little solo phrases they are all ok and nice!!!

I had a CD with these recordings at one time when I lived in Seattle. I lended my CD to my friend Steve, who moved back to Chicago. I moved to Las Vegas. I have not been able to locate another copy!  The CD was great. Was it you, 2amuse? The sleeve said it was recorded on DAT on a rooftop in Cuba. Loved it!
