The nengón is a musical genre originally from the island of Cuba. It is considered as the precursor of the changüí and the son, developed in the east of Cuba, specifically in the province of Guantánamo. characteristics
The nengón is characterized, in opposition to the changüí and the son, by a greater simplicity in its execution, with little or no syncopation.
Originally, it was played with an instrument known as Tingo talango, which played the bass. This instrument of Congolese origin consists of a branch of flexible tree that, in the form of arch, tensions a rope tied to the end of the branch and to a stone buried in the ground.
Over time, the talayo tingo was replaced by the maritime and the "modern" nengón began to be interpreted with the same instrumentation of the changüi. Sources and
