"Anabacoa" is a guaracha composed by Puerto Rican trumpeter Juanchín Ramírez which has become a Latin music standard.
Its most famous recording was made in Mexico in 1949 by Beny Moré backed by Pérez Prado and his orchestra.
It was followed by the version made by Arsenio Rodríguez and his conjunto in 1950, which further cemented the piece as a standard of the Cuban music repertoire.
[3][4] Arsenio's rendition, although labeled as a guaracha, was driven by a guaguancó pattern on the tumbadora.
[5] Like Arsenio's version, their rendition is also "a guaguancó based on a two-measure montuno pattern that is unchanging throughout the entire piece".
