Guaguancó is one sub-genre of Cuban rumba, a highly complex rhythmic music and dance style. The traditional line-up consists of:

  • three conga drum parts, namely the tumbadora (lowest), tres-dos (middle, playing a cross-clave counter rhythm), and quinto (highest, solo drum). These parts are also often played on cajones, wooden boxes.
  • claves
  • palitos (wooden sticks striking the side of the drum) or guagua (kind of woodblock)
  • a solo singer
  • the coro (choir)
  • two dancers, one male, one female

Dance, lead vocal and quinto interact in a complex manner.es:Guaguancó
