‘¡Pare, cochero!’ — Stop the coach! A vintage Cuban guaracha that turned into a cross-generational proving ground. Orquesta Aragón give it the charanga's flute-and-violin sway; Tito Puente drives it through the timbales; Típica ’73 turn it into hard 1970s New York salsa with Tito Allen out front; and Johnny Pacheco hands it back to the Fania son. One street-corner scene — stop the coach, I'm getting off — carried from Havana's dance halls to the Nuyorican floor.
