Arroz con Habichuelas

Literally meaning “Rice and Beans”, this Cuban folklore style called Son Montuno was made a #1 hit by El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico, who has been #1 in the charts for 50 years. This song is six minutes of pure “sabor” and “candela”. Rice and beans is a heavy meal that is easy to make. The comparison is that this song is appealing in its simplicity, yet, difficult to play with such swing. It features the virtuosity of two monstrous musicians: Giovanni Hidalgo on percussion and Alvin Medina on Puerto Rican Tres and Cuatro Guitars! This song is specifically designed to make you move your hips and to entice your appetite for more!
