what is a montuno in son or salsa?

Answer #1

Salsa is the style of music that is being played on instrumnets, or sung. People dance tto the Salsa.

Montuno usually refers to the repeated part of the song. (sometimes there are two voices or instruments going back and forth in this part).

Son Montuno is the name of a style of music that became popular in the 1940’s. It is a combination of music from Africa and Cuba… better known as an Afro-Cuban sound.

Therefore, the “Salsa Son Montuno”… would generally refer to Salsa music that is played in the Afro-Cuban style, better known as Son Montuno.
