Songo is a genre of popular Cuban music, created by the group Los Van Van in the early 1970s. Songo incorporated rhythmic elements from folkloric rumba into popular dance music, and was a significant departure from the son montuno/mambo-based structure which had dominated popular music in Cuba since the 1940s. Blas Egües was the first drummer in Los Van Van, but it was the band's second drummer, José Luis Quintana "Changuito," who developed songo into the world-wide phenomenon it is today.〔Quintana, José Luis "Changuito". ''History of Songo.'' Warner Brothers VHS video (1996). Quintana, José Luis "Changuito" (1998) ''Changuito: A Master's Approach to Timbales''. Alfred Publishing Co. ISBN 978-0-7692-1435-1.〕 Songo is the most famous of the post-Revolution Cuban rhythms, beginning with the mozambique, which drew from the deep well of Afro-Cuban folkloric rhythms (mainly rumba). During the 1970s, many Cuban bands created their own original rhythms: Los Van Van invented songo; Orquesta Ritmo Oriental—''nueva onda''; Orquesta Tipica Juventud—''bata cinco'', and Orquesta Revé named their invention—''changüí'', after the "funky," folkloric proto-son music of the 19th century.〔Lapidus, Ben (2008) ''Origins of Cuban Music and Dance; Changüí'' p. 114-116. Lanham, MA: Scarecrow Press. ISBN 978-0-8108-6204-3〕 Songo is a precursor of present-day timba.〔 ==Timbales== With songo, the timbales were expanded with the addition of a kick bass drum, and sometimes a snare drum and hi-hat. Songo uses a Cuban-style timbale/drum kit hybrid, which can be anything from standard timbales with kick, to a full drum kit, augmented with timbales, woodblock, and various cowbells. Songo was the first Cuban popular dance rhythm to blend rumba and North American funk rhythms.〔Moore, Kevin (2011). "The Roots of Timba, Part II; Clave and the Backbeat" ''Timba.com''. Web. http://www.timba.com/encyclopedia_pages/the-clave-and-the-backbeat〕 The most basic songo bell pattern is an embellishment of the Matanzas-style cáscara pattern for guaguancó, traditionally played on a guagua (hollowed piece of bamboo).〔Peñalosa (2010). "Applying the Quinto Lock to Songo," ''Rumba Quinto'' p. 141. Redway, CA: Bembe Books. ISBN 1-4537-1313-1〕 In both patterns the right hand (lower notes) plays the four main beats, while the left hand plays offbeats. The right hand is typically played on a closed hi-hat, woodblock, or cowbell. The left hand is typically played on the snare rim, snare, cowbell(s), or toms The left hand portion of the pattern is expressed in a wide variety of melodic motifs, and timbres.
