Changuí is a rapid form of son from the eastern provinces (Santiago and Guantánamo, known together as Oriente), and is best exemplified by Elio Revé.
It is unclear how the changuí originated, and whether it is a precursor to the classical son, but it seems that the two developed along parallel lines.
Changuí is characterised by its strong emphasis on the downbeat, as well as being fast and very percussive.

He said that from then onwards he will live on the hill at Changu, where he was redeemed for his sin, and that everyone who comes to worship him at Changu on the day of the full moon or on Wednesdays will also be exonerated.
Despite the legendary origin of the temple, Changu Narayan is believed to be built by Haridatta Varma, who was a Licchavi king who ruled around 325 AD several generations before Manadev I. Chronicles say that at that time Haridutta had ordered the building of four hilltop Narayan temples around the Valley.
At Changu Narayan, Boddhisattva Avalokiteswara is shown separately as a stone sculpture behind the temple while Garudasana Narayan, Vishnu on Garuda, is been the revered image of the temple.

Perched on a ridge in the eastern part of the Kathmandu Valley, Changu Narayan, a pagoda-style temple dedicated to Vishnu in his incarnation as Narayan, is one of the oldest temples in Nepal, and because it is a bit off the beaten track, it is seldom visited by tourists.
Originally built in the early fourth century during the Licchavi dynasty, Changu Narayan was rebuilt around 1700 after the temple was destroyed by a fire.
Though the temple is quite beautiful, especially the repoussé doors and front facade, Changu Narayan is not known for its temple but for the stone statues, bas-relief carvings, and inscriptions that are scattered around the temple courtyard.
