Playing Son music in the public
The gentle man in front playing the Güiro by rubbing a stick or tines along the notches to produce a ratchet sound.
The son is at the heart of Cuban music; it is a quintessential Afro-Cuban musical form, referring both to a singing and dancing style. Son means "sound," but it is easiest to think of its meaning as "the basic song." Although there are the early traces of son dating back to the 16th century, modern son first appeared in the eastern part of Cuba in the late 19th century.
The group was playing at the veranda from Hotel Inglaterra in Old Havana.
