Son montuno
Arsenio Rodríguez initially developed son montuño from son. He added instrumental solos called montuños. He also added guaguanco influence, increased the importance of the trumpets and tres, and added new instruments such as the congas and piano. Beny Moré (known as the "Barbarian of Rhythm") further evolved the genre, adding guaracha, bolero and mambo influences, helping make him extraordinarily popular and is now cited as perhaps the greatest sonero.
Later, mambo was derived from son montuño and danzón by making the montuño sections the focus of songs.
