Son is best represented by long-standing groups like Septeto Nacional, which was re-established in 1985, Orquesta Aragón, Orquesta Ritmo Oriental and Orquesta Original de Manzanillo.
Septeto Nacional, alongside groups like Sierra Maestra, have sparked a revival in traditional son.
Meanwhile, Irakere fused traditional Cuban music with jazz, and groups like NG La Banda, Orishas and Son 14 continued to add new elements to son, especially hip hop and funk, to form timba music; this process was aided by the acquisition of imported electronic equipment.

Septeto Nacional de Ignacio Piñeiro : Soneros de Cuba
In 1998, Septeto Nacional celebrated its 71st anniversary with Soneros de Cuba, which finds acoustic guitarist Richard Aymee Castro leading a lineup that also includes singer/percussionists Eugenio "Raspa" Rodriguez and Dorgis Guilarte Matos, trumpeter Fernando Carlos Sánchez, guitarist Enrique Collazo, percussionist Francisco Oropesa Fernandez, and bassist Bárbaro Sánchez.
Obviously, none of these guys were members of Piñeiro's original 1927 lineup, but they quite are faithful to the group's history, and Soneros de Cuba contains the type of infectious, addictive son that earlier editions of Piñeiro's outfit provided in the '30s, '40s, and '50s.

Attracting global recognition with their performance at the World Exposition in Seville in 1928, Septeto Nacional De Ignacio Piniero were, reportedly, the first band to mention "salsa" in a song, "Echale Salsita," recorded in 1933.

Remaining true to their original musical roots, Septeto Nacional De Ignacio Piniero continue to serve a dance-inspiring mix of montano, merengue, bolero, rumba, and cha cha cha.

The band's repertoire was the son, the newly popular Afro-Cuban genre that fused European song form and instruments (such as the tres) with African elements such as strong percussion and call-and-response sections.
Septeto Nacional became known as one of the finest son bands on the island, vying for title of most popular with Septeto Habanero.
The band, currently in its third generation of musicians, shows that it is still going strong, sailing through an exuberant mix of sones and boleros with a sound that is classic but never musty.

Septeto Nacional, now in its third generation, is one of Cuba’s oldest musical institutions and one of the country’s top groups.
The stars of the Cuban music scene are in great demand these days, so it took quite a while to get this project off the ground – but the resulting line-up is nothing short of sensational.
The musicians of Septeto Nacional are joined by Tata Güines, probably the country’s best conga player, with the legendary Gonzales Rubalcaba on piano, the virtuoso Pancho Amat on tres (the Caribbean "little sister" of the guitar), and the smokey voice of Pío Leyva, the benchmark of African-influenced Son Montuno for the past fifty years.

 Cuban Son: A Tradition Reinvented / RootsWorld Recording Review
After the Cuban revolution, the son fell on lean times at home with the emergence of nueva trova and the growing international popularity of New York salsa, essentially a retooling of and elaboration upon Cuban son and rumba.
Among the originating son survivors is Septeto Nacional Ignacio Piñeiro, which in its third generation and eighth decade of existence perpetuates its ageless sound signature.
It reveals the wry, knowing gaze of an aging European anti-imperialist hipster and Santería convert reflecting upon desperate love and the inexorable contradictions of daily life on the streets of his beloved Havana (often one and the same thing).
