\nIt is also a beloved composition for dancing my favorite dance – Son Cubano.
\nIf you’ve been following Cuban music releases from the last 5 years, you should have guessed by now the composition I’m referring to… the wonderful “Venenosa” by Habana de Primera<\/a> !<\/p>\n
“El son es lo m\u00e1s sublime, para el alma divertir… se debiera de morir, quien por bueno no lo estime…” goes the classic line from “Suavecito” by the true treasure of Cuban music, Septeto Nacional de Ignacio Pineiro<\/a>… and for me it is quite true. Son, both music and dance, has played a major role in the creation and\u00a0dissemination of Cuban music and dance on a global scale during the previous and current centuries.![\"\"](\"http:\/\/salsalust.com\/blogs\/cuban_music_che\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/bbb.jpg\")

\nIf there is a social dance style which I love most, with which I fell in love at first sight and which is danced to music that always ignites the spark in my eyes and melts my heart, then it is Son Cubano.<\/p>\n
\nFrom a musical stand point, all that goes under the umbrella term “salsa”, and a good portion of that which constitutes both Songo and Timba, own their structure, rhythms and melodies to the genre of Son and its derivative, Son Montuno.
\nRegarding the dance, many Cuban and Latin \\ Caribbean social couple dances owe their structure and basic elements to Son, especially what we mostly dance on dance floors today, Casino<\/a>.<\/p>\n
