Chan Chan | Wypernet 🎸 by TheGat(s) published on 2021-12-30T08:15:58Z Music & Lyrics: Francisco Repilado (popularized by the Buena Vista Social Club) Instrumental performance: Wypernet Vocal: Jan Schonander Thanks very much to Wypernet https://soundcloud.com/wypernet for allowing me to add a vocal to his wonderful instrumental. "Chan Chan" is a 1984 son composition by Cuban trovador Compay Segundo. It was first recorded in 1985 by Compay Segundo's own group. In 1987, he approached Eliades Ochoa, who agreed to record a version with the Cuarteto Patria. However, EGREM did not release these recordings until the second half of the 1990s. In November 1995, Compay recorded a new version in Madrid for his Antología, released on CD the following year. In March 1996, Compay Segundo, Eliades Ochoa and other veteran Cuban musicians recorded a new version of the song as part of the Buena Vista Social Club project. The song became the opening track of their eponymous album and the group's signature song, thereby achieving international fame. Lyrically, the song is set on the beach and revolves around two central characters called Juanica and Chan Chan. The most complete explanation says: 'The song relates the story of a man and a woman (Chan Chan and Juanica) who are building a house, and go to the beach to get some sand. Chan Chan collects the sand and puts it on the jibe (a sieve for sand). Juanica shakes it, and to do so she shakes herself, making Chan Chan embarrassed. [...] The origin of this tale is a farmer song learnt by Compay Segundo when he was twelve years old. The most recognizable part of the song is its chorus, whose lyrics are as follows: De Alto Cedro voy para Marcané Llego a Cueto voy para Mayarí From Alto Cedro I go to Marcané I get to Cueto, then head for Mayarí Background from Wikipedia Genre Alt Latin Comment by cosmic keanu Excellent cover -- great island sound, guitar, and vocals! 2023-10-23T19:25:48Z Comment by Wayfarer DG Cool collaboration, the sun shines through.... 2023-04-24T13:59:17Z Comment by Julian Cafarella Composer Excellent song Vocals blend well with the instrumentals! 2022-12-17T10:26:50Z Comment by Pamela Illanes-Tatsuoka Composer beautiful song! 2022-12-14T00:28:31Z Comment by davst very good cover 2022-11-08T08:24:43Z Comment by David. k.
