	Cuba and Its Music
		Arsenio wasn't the first in Cuba to call his group a conjunto (literally, "combined"); neither was Arsenio the first to add a piano to the son septet.
		Arsenio had a brother, whom he was very fond of - Kike - and whom he employed to help him get around, but the expenses that he incurred as a consequence came to about as much as Arsenio's share of the contract.
		When Arsenio's band got to the montuno, the bongosero set down his bongó, picked up the campana, and whacked it with a thick stick at the mouth of the bell in a steady 1-2-3-4 (filling in the upbeats on the closed end of the bell, in a formula which respects the clave).
