Open in the interactive experience‘Changó has come.’ A santería-tinged guaracha that names the orisha of thunder and fire as he arrives. Celia Cruz cut it with La Sonora Matancera in the late 1950s, her voice summoning the saint over the coro; El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico later gave it the full salsa-brava treatment. One more of the sacred songs that hid an orisha inside the dance-hall repertoire.
