Three versions of El Raton ....

Postby Beatnik07 » Thu Oct 29, 2020 12:51 pm

I was trying to sharpen my Clave detection/analysis skills and doing so, I came upon these versions of El Raton.
I am sure there are many more versions, but here are these three.

Which one do you like best ?

This one I believe is with Cheo Feliciano singing:


A contemporary Cuban version:


Fania All Stars, live with a top line-up:

Hello everyone.

The one everybody knows is of course the version with Cheo Feliciano and the Fania All Stars.

But I discovered this one too :

Since I first heard it, one of my favourite versions is this one by Panamanian band "Los invasores". I love that psychedelic latin rock kind of vibe. And that singer!


DJ Neber from Mexico did a nice job adding a hip hop drum beat to it:
