refineries and in the rural communities populated by slaves. Changui combines the structure and elements of
Spain
canción and the Spanish
guitar
with
African
rhythms and
percussion instruments
of the
Bantu
Arara origin. Changui is thought to be the predecessor of
son montuno
, which enjoyed tremendous popularity in Cuba throughout the
