One of my favorites from Bebo, "Merengues, No" actually does sound like a merengue, but still retains a thoroughly Cuban sound. The sonero or vocalist, in particular, maintains the Cuban sound while the big band orquesta keeps things interesting. The vocalist seems to mention various styles of Cuban dance music (rumba, guaganco, cha cha cha, mambo, etc.) which make it quite clear this song is not a 'pure' merengue, either.
