Changüi is from the eastern part of Cuba, specifically Baracoa. Changüi came from the fusion of two earlier genres, nengon and kiribá.
One point of confusion many musicians have is when a song is really changüí. Changüi is really part of the son family, but, unlike son, clave had not been developed so the pulse is basically just quarter notes.
Changüi is also defined more by instrumentation than actual patterns, although being a newer style, it is also more rhythmically complex than either nengon or kiribá. It is much more syncopated and instead of one repeated pattern, many songs copy the voice a 3rd or 6th higher and then repeat a pattern when there is no singing. This pattern may change after each verse.
This video was made in Cuba in 1999, in my backyard, and it features a typical pattern on the tres. After that introduction a trio plays the ensemble parts. The ensemble consists of bongo, played by Yanel Yanes, bass played by Jiovanni Cofiño, and of course the Cuban tres.
This is a modern interpretation of the changüi ensemble. In the original style the marimbula is the traditional bass instrument. Also, you would have a singer and someone playing guayo.

Thanks for this. I am a Canadian learning to play tres. I’m a rank beginner but I have the benefit of a teacher in Cuba I play with every time I go.
Great to see such wonderful Cuban music played in Cuba and on a porch in a backyard on a sunny day.
INTERESTING, I'm very proud, that someone in English explain carefully in detail about one of the more important cultural roots, MY CHANGÜÍ!!!!
You are welcome. I am slowly going through other stuff I have. Make sure you subscribe.
Wow! I’ve heard of this style before but never actually knew much about it. Thanks for teaching about both the historical and technological aspects of the genre. Beautiful!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Gracias!
hey guys, which kind of bongos he's playing?
Sorry for the late reply, I didn't see this. Those are regular Toca bongos. Traditionally you would play changüi bongos, but I didn't have any at the time. Just tune your regular bongos down.
