Son was essentially a marriage of syncopated African rhythms and percussion with trova's Spanish-derived melodies and string instruments.
In its most commonly accepted form, son was performed by a septet featuring trumpet, guitar, bass, tres (a nine-string guitar-like instrument), bongos, maracas, and the all-important time-keeping clavés; usually, at least one or two of the musicians doubled as vocalists.
