Talk:Son cubano

Untitled
No mention of Nicolas Guillen?

What does it sound like?
While the artcle gives us the parentage (and descendants), we are basically left in the dark as to what the music sounds like.Kdammers (talk) 00:07, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Separate section for notable artists?
Also, would Ibrahim Ferrer be one such notable artist? --Innerproduct (talk) 16:16, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Requested move

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the proposal was PAGE MOVED per discussion below. -GTBacchus(talk) 03:57, 28 March 2009 (UTC) Reason for my request: The present title starts by being unsatisfactory, on two grounds:
 * 1. Though the son was indeed a Cuban invention, it became and still is widespread throughtout the Caribbean and the Americas. It deserves a more open title than the present. Various types of son can be dealt with best inside the more open frame.
 * 2. The present title violates Spanish orthography, which would call for Son cubano, that is, the adjective in lower case. Thus, in any event, the title should be changed.

 * Support a return to the article's former title, son (music). Even if it were only produced in Cuba, it still wouldn't need the geographical disambiguator (in Spanish) since there's only one type of music called "son" in English (son montuno is a subset of this son) with an article at Wikipedia. —   AjaxSmack   03:03, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

– There is more than one style of music known as son (Spanish for "sound"). We have several articles at titles of the proposed sort—Son calentano, Son jalisciense, etc.—and the previous move of this article was based on the now out-of-date fact that the only son genre we had an article for was the cubano (the other being a sub-genre of this). As far as I am aware, the son mexicano is unrelated to the cubano. Srnec (talk) 20:51, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Son (music) → Son cubano
 * Mexican son music → Son mexicano
 * Strong support. Nom's rationale is sound (no pun intended). There's also the son guatemalteco, which is the national genre/dance of Guatemala. Neodop (talk) 23:38, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
