Montuno

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Montuno has two meanings in Salsa music[citation needed]. Firstly, it refers to the repeated part of the song, like a chorus/refrain in popular music. Here the coro (chorus/choir) and pregon (soloist) sing in a call and response style. There can also be instrumental solos in the montuno. Secondly, it is the name given to the particular style of piano playing common to Cuban/salsa music. It features a repeated syncopated piano vamp, often with chromatic root movement.
