Rapson Espinosa is a young Cuban musician with remarkable talent in mastering multiple instruments and singing. The artist surprised his followers on social media with an original rendition of one of the most famous Cuban songs, "Chan Chan," authored by Compay Segundo.
“How would the legendary song ‘Chan Chan’ sound with this instrument, the sundrum?” the young musician is heard saying before starting his performance while showcasing the sundrum, a small wooden drum. The first thing he recorded was the bass, but besides the sundrum and the guitar, Rapson Espinosa used his hands to create the sound of the güiro and the claves, compensating for the absence of these instruments.
He then recorded the vocals for the chorus and finally the refrain, which is the most well-known part of this song, even internationally.
“What a great version!”; “Amazing vibes, my brother. You don’t have a güiro or claves, but you have a sundrum and that’s what matters”; “Ingenuity is worth more than anything”; “Master, beautiful version. It needs to be heard in full”; “Incredible how beautiful it turned out”; “What a wonder. Cuban talent”; “What art. You’re incredible!” were some of the praises the young musician received in the comments.
