Rare Changui Music from Cuba (Part 1)

[@soukous70]

This is the grandfather of all latin music from the caribbean. Without it,all the popular latin styles would not exist,everything from Mambo to Reggaeton!Cuba is ground zero of latin /afro-caribbean music. Respect is due. Changui is not so rare,but videos of its performance certainly are! So,thank you for sharing it,its a joy to see!

[@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...

[@guajirodela21]

PUERTO RICO NO LE LLEGA NI A LOS TOBILLOS A CUBA EN CUANTO A MÚSICA SE REFIERE.

[@CF201]

Lowfat80 speaks the truth he would know more than many since he is a perserver of Afro Latino musical folklore. But truthfully I as a Boricua have observed that Hatians have had there hand in the majority of Afro Caribbean Latino music. With Bomba from Puerto Rico west coast like yuba from Mayaguez, Dominican palo and Cuban Changui Haiti has had a strong influence in the development of our music.

[@locinty]

The Changui is from yatera, Guantanamo,roots Canary isles,Bantu and afrofrech brought by the Haitian to eartern coast of cuba.

[@SonerosAllStars]

Hi. I recorded this video back in 2004 in Yaterras/Guantanamo. I can see its a lot of emotions in the comments on this one. If you need more changui just check out more of this meeting with this changuiceros on my site. Chao/Janne

[@EkBalam707]

I was just reviewing my favorites and this video is one of my first KZbin's favorites.- A rare changui tune, Real afro-cuban music. This guys sound great, esta es un tremenda rola, puro sabor , ..y se los dice un mexicano. Saludos desde California.

[@ismanimal]

Actually, not real Afro-Cuban music, just Cuban music. Afro-Cuban music refers to a group of genres both religious like Yoruba music, Abakua and Palo Monte among others and popular genres as Guaguancó, Columbia or Rumba. There is no guitar, marimbula, tres etc... just percussion and choirs, mostly sang on original African language and a mix of Spanish. The Afro in Afro-Cuban is very very Afro, and very very Cuban, as all this genres where born on the island from our African roots.

[@EkBalam707]

@@ismanimal Afro Caribbean.. Most Cubans are black or brown

[@ismanimal]

@@EkBalam707 again, another miss conception.

[@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!!!

[@Peachexploration]

Love this! Great musicians!

[@Cachita181]

Muy bonito....Como puedo conseguir esa musica?

[@Raysmobileonsite]

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!

[@aLby_doira]

thanks for posting. does anybody know what the box playing the bass line is called...is it traditional for changui or just homemade?

[@kpjohnson94]

Thx this is helping with my project for school.

[@MauroOlivoG]

musicos increibles... es raro ver videos donde se toque una Marimbula, creo que ya esta por extinguirse... alguine sabe donde puedo conseguir una?

[@yorkisperezmestre4331]

Orgullo de mi tierra yaterana , estrellas campesinas es el nombre del grupo lla an fallecido 3 de sus integrantes el cantante el bailador y el marimbulero

[@yoli647]

MUY BIEN!

[@cage511]

I love how its sounds, como decimos aqui esta de ahuevo!, jaja!

[@jorgemdiezmero]

@Juncos00777 sabian que la tecnica y el patron de la musica que le dicen salsa es completamente cubana????.

[@tbonenclave]

It's called a marimbula, and is used in Changui as well as in the Domincan Republic (traditional merengue), Jamica (mento), Haiti and Colombia. Basically it's an overgrown descendant of the African kalimba ("thumb piano").

[@SPLENDIDZEN]

¡Toda una clase!(¡sobre todo de bongo!)...me encanto el instrumento que hace los bajos...alguien puede escribir en un comentario acerca de este instrumento o dejar una pagina o link!...¡gracias!...

[@inthepicture]

great...

[@tone26]

Yellowalicat those are called bongo del monte and are the traditional changui bongo, they are played differently than regular son bongo. They are also tunned lower and are bigger. Tumbadora is the real name for conga drums (not related to bongo). Not trying to school you or anything, just some friendly correction on my part. Peace

[@michaelpluznick]

G R E A T !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jesusezequielbujanssanz2972]

Connooooo! super, esta gente1

[@sgsilva8]

sick, changui rules!

[@Xinkgs]

ME VOY PA ORIENTEE!!!!!!!!!!!

[@locinty]

The Changui has nothing to do with merengue,which was originaly from Puerto Rico! However,el Son de la Ma Teora,XVI Century,Per haps,the first was played by the"Dominicas" sisters Teodora And Micaela Gines!Ask some cuban about it and some refuse to accept it ,that these sisters from Hispanola(La Espanola-now Santo Domingo)were the first Soneras!

[@cuquito717]

@openbreak Eso le llaman maribola fue unado antes de lo que hoy se llama contrabajo.

[@tresero2862]

Actually, he started with some changui solos but went directly to martillo which isn't part of the changui style. Listen to the marimbula and tres and guayo. They are playing changui de pinga, pero esta bongocerro es tocando son.

[@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

[@openbreak]

Como se llama ese cajón que hace de bajo? Gracias

[@samuellugo5475]

LA MARIMBULA

[@Juncos00777]

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

[@oyotunji]

Ase ase ase oyotunji .

[@CF201]

do you mean the box that dude is playing cause if so thats a marimbola.

[@supermarito79]

nice playlist search pellejo seco for more great cuban music

[@bongolou]

¡Que rico! ¡Muy sabroso!

[@podoz]

that's some of the weirdest bongo playing i've ever seen. Is he playing the same song as the rest of the guys?

[@locinty]

@trueuno1,logic is the art of validating a premise,if I'm wrong,prove it. First,give the historical facts,(according to ,state reference)once,you justify your a assumtion,then,we talk.

[@enmantecao]

The video has nothing to do with politics JDSWriter, I don't see anybody here speaking of hating Cuba, but since u touched the subject how about u letting the will of the mayorities of cubans preveal (cubans from the island), those are the only once that can make the difference, if things haven't change there is because that majority don't want the change u are wishing for. They are obvouisly way happier than u despite u living in "freedom", the video and your comment are evidence of that.

[@sulivel]

azuca

[@CF201]

DJSHILLY18 NA KID THATS NOT A CAJON

[@podoz]

yes i'm a musician of 30 years, although no expert in latin music. The bongo playing just seems weird to me, he seems to be in his own world and not playing to compliment the music

[@Benitico78]

You should learn the culture first then you will understand..,that bongo is spot on!,that’s changui!😂

[@ismanimal]

There's syncope for you

[@trueuno1]

soy dominicano, and I'm telling you that you are wrong

[@openbreak]

Ya me he enterado que se llama Marímbula, y que entró en Cuba por Oriente desde Puerto Rico.

[@zeidycanetti1536]

javirulo salsa, se ha enterado mal, la Marimbula es de origen africano reproducidas por primera vez en Cuba, y utilizadas unicamente en Cuba, en la musica autóctona o folklorica puertorriqueña nunca hubo presencia de Marimbula. Estos instrumentos tanto el bongó, como la marimbula se pasaron a PR y Haiti despues que trajeran mano de obra barata (braseros) a Cuba procedente de Haiti y PR a partir de 1913.

[@hectorgongora362]

javirulo salsa este intrumento es de origen afro cubano echo en guantanamo no en puerto rico

[@locinty]

Do you know what you are talking about? First go to the Instituto Fernando Ortiz,Vedado,La Habana Cuba.Read Maria Teresa Linares and learn.Then talk.
