  The Guaracha Hacienda
It was not, however, simply physical geography which had shaped the economic structure of the region and its articulation to the larger world at the time of the Revolution.

The Guaracha case does not permit an analysis of the alternative policy of ejidal collectivization in its modern forms, since it remains an ejido basad on individual tenure and cultivation.
In the case of Guaracha, commodity relations have penetrated deep into the heart of the domestic unit itself, causing an increasing atomization of units of consumption.
The lesson of the Guaracha case is that the essence of the post-revolutionary experience is the removal of initiative and bargaining power from the base: even developments in state policy towards the ejidos which might be considered "improvements" in a narrowly material sense are increasingly negative from this point of view.

 El veraz - San Juan, Puerto Rico: Articulo: La Guaracha...
la guaracha pierde su estructura anterior de coplas y estribillos, surgiendo la forma de una sección de canto y otra coreadas; pierde la alternancia y se asimila a las formas de la canción binaria.
De modo que la guaracha era para esa época, al menos en Oriente, un género totalmente separado del son.
La Guaracha practicamente fue reprimida y perseguida, no sólo por su procacidad, también porque se usaba para criticar a los gobernantes de turno, otro punto que tuvo en su contra para obligarla a desaparecer tal cual como era, por eso quizás tuvo que entretejerse con el Son Oriental que era más aceptado.

 Don Edrington's Rumba & Guaracha MIDIs
The bolero is traditionally a slow, romantic rumba, with the lyrics being a love song of some kind, and where the dancers almost always remain in physical contact with one another.
Conversely, the guaracha is a fast rumba in which the dancers rarely touch, and in which they imitate the mating ritual of a rooster pursuing a hen.
Other types of rumba are the guajira and the son, the latter of which I'd describe as a rumba whose dance tempo falls somewhere between the bolero and the guaracha.

Fino al 1930 la guaracha è rimasta nei confini cubani, senza avere un grande successo, proprio a causa della sua utilizzazione satirico-sociale.
Sul piano musicale, la guaracha, inizialmente considerata un genere povero, di serie B (eseguita con la sola chitarra), è stata rivisitata dalla famosa orchestra Sonora Matancera che l'ha arricchita ed impreziosita attraverso l'interpretazione di una intera formazione orchestrale di Son.
Dopo il 1930 la guaracha iniziò a diffondersi insieme al son cubano.

 CONTEXT: Gregory Rabassa Reading Luis Rafael Sanchez
What is startling is that Sanchez has nonetheless supplied the rhythm of the guaracha by using the very words of the text.
In her limited way and in spite of her own travails she does manage to instruct The Mother from her experience and "mother wisdom." She knows that instead of being a phenomenal thing, "life is a bundle of dirty clothes." With this earthly eloquent statement we have the antidote to Macho Camacho's guaracha.
And yet it is her failure to be where she was supposed to be that brings on The Kid's demise.

The streets of Cuba's major cities have served as cradle and stage for many a musical form, such as the guaracha, a lively genre characterized by a shuffling rhythm and satirical, risqué lyrics.
(The sexual innuendo common in guaracha lyrics is nothing new -- back in 1801, an anonymous chronicler criticized the vulgarity of the guarachas he heard on the streets of Havana.)
The genre most closely associated with rural Cuba is the guajira (which is related to the style called canción), a rhythmic song with lyrics about country life (the words guajiro/guajira mean "man/woman from the country").
