"Cinco Changüiseros" - Part 3: Taberas (bongó player & director - Grupo Changüí de Guantánamo)

"Cinco Changüiseros" is a musical documentary about Changüí - the traditional dance party music of Guantánamo Province, Cuba. Today's Salsa music and dance branched out from the vibrant tradition of Cuban Son. It is said that Changüí is the mother of the Son.
This third of five parts of "Cinco Changüiseros" features bongó de monte player and current director of Grupo Changüí de Guantánamo - Andrés Fistó 'Taberas.' As the foremost proponent of this unique music, Grupo Changüí has toured extensively throughout Cuba and the world. Taberas is one of the greatest living Changüí bongoseros who gives keen insight into how to play the more rustic bongó de monte which are unique in structure and playing style from contemporary bongó with metal tuning hardware. He is also a constructor of instruments who specializes in making marímbulas and bongó de monte.
In December of 2004, two novice filmmakers travelled to Eastern Cuba to study and document Changüí. By knocking on doors and making new friends, some of today's best Changüí musicians gladly gave interviews in their homes and performed in intimate settings. In this way, five central changüiseros shared their personal stories and illuminated the nature of this frequently mentioned, yet seldom understood music and dance form. The full length documentary film "Cinco Changüiseros" that resulted from this journey is an up close and personal journey to Guantánamo where the Changüí is alive and well.
