Descripción
En 1993, el músico cubano José Luis Cortés realizó con su grupo NG La Banda una gira por Japón. Por esa época este importante músico trataba de lograr un sonido diferente al que se imponía en el movimiento salsero de entonces, encabezado por grupos y cantantes puertorriqueños. Era la época romántica de la salsa y el género musical principal dentro de ella era el bolero. Incluso ya la misma había recibido nombres como el de salsa erótica.

Kiriba
By Jon Griffin
Description
Kiriba is a style of Son from a different area of Cuba. It mostly originated in the Baracoa
area, which is also where the Changüi was created. In fact where the
fusion of Kiriba and Nengon takes place is where Changüi is invented. And where Nengon evolved, it evolved into Son.

Changüi
By Jon Griffin
Description
Changüi was born in Guantanamo Province, Cuba (specifically the Baracoa area) from of the style called Nengon.
There are some conflicting answers you will receive when you ask the
question, "What is Changüi"? The answer from an ethnomusicology point
if view is simple, but like most academic answers, it leaves more
questions and sometimes contradicts popular definitions.
