montuno
montuno may refer to the older type ofson played in the mountainous rural areas of Oriente. Or it may mean the final section of a song-based composition; in this sense it is simply part of a piece of music. Here it is usually a faster, brasher, semi-improvised instrumental section, sometimes with a repetitive vocal refrain. Finally, montuno can be used for a piano rhythm accompanying the montuno section, when it describes a repeated syncopated piano vamp, often with chromatic root movement.
