Cuento Na Ma: Cuban Music in the Congo

Franco & OK Jazz covered an old Cuban son by Miguelito Cuni beautifully. They even sing the original in Spanish though the pronunciation may be off... The main difference here is the guitar usually plays what the pianist would play in Cuban son or son montuno. Franco does an excellent job with guitar and the bassist almost sounds...funky in the American 1960s since. 

Here is their cover, a Johnny Pacheco cover from the 1960s, and the original Cuban song.
