Bright D-major son montuno at 115 BPM with lead Spanish male vocals, timbale-driven percussion, montuno piano, flute filigree and a stabbing trumpet-led horn section. Short and unrelentingly cheerful, shifting to F for contrast before landing on a definite band ending — built for footage of dancing, street life and holiday spirit.
Minor-key (Gm) Cuban groove at a strolling 105 BPM, with lead male vocals over piano montuno, upright-style bass, timbales, flute and a full trumpet-and-trombone front line. The G minor tonality gives it a slightly sly, mischievous edge compared with the album's major-key numbers — good for a comic caper or a beat-up car rolling through town.
A relaxed 98 BPM C minor son with lead male vocals, guitar, piano montuno, bass, timbales and a trumpet/trombone horn section. The title's wake-up-and-get-out-of-bed idea suits a lazy morning that gradually gathers momentum; warm and rhythmic without ever getting frantic.
The fastest and most celebratory cue here — 135 BPM in C minor with modulations toward Bb and Gm, powered by timbales, percussion, piano montuno, bass and punching trumpets with lead male vocals. Full-tilt party energy from the top, ending on a decisive hit.
A laid-back 90 BPM son in Eb with a move to C, lead male vocals riding piano montuno, bass, timbales and trumpet-led horns. The slowest tempo on the record gives it a swaying, hip-led feel — classic old-Havana dance-hall romance rather than carnival mayhem.
D minor mid-tempo Cuban cue at 105 BPM shifting to D major, with lead male vocals, guitar, piano montuno, bass, timbales and a trumpet-and-trombone section. The minor-to-major turn matches the title's downtown-Havana wander: colourful, a little worn, ultimately sunny.
Instrumental 105 BPM number in G with a turn to C, led by trumpet and trombone over piano montuno, bass and timbales — no lead vocal, so the horn lines carry the melody. Short and affectionate in tone, matching the title's 'your eyes'; leaves more room under narration than the sung tracks.
Instrumental 90 BPM D minor groove moving to D major, with guitar, piano montuno, bass, timbales and a trumpet/trombone front line. Slow, proud and slightly declamatory in keeping with the revolutionary title — usable as an archival-footage bed since there is no lead vocal competing with narration.
The longest cue on the album at 2:46: an instrumental 90 BPM bolero-leaning piece in Eb with flute, trumpet, trombone, piano montuno, bass and gentle timbale patterns. Its slow tempo and heart-skipping title make it the most romantic thing here, and the extra length gives an editor room to breathe.
Fast 125 BPM salsa in D with a darker Ebm turn, lead male vocals over piano montuno, bass, timbales and bright trumpet-led horns. Just over two minutes of invitation-to-the-floor energy, driving from the first bar to a clean band finish.
Instrumental 128 BPM A minor salsa with guitar, piano montuno, bass, timbales and a trumpet-and-trombone section carrying the tune. The minor key keeps the fast tempo a shade smoky rather than purely festive, and the absence of a lead vocal makes it easy to place under dialogue-free action or narration.
