Article misconceived[edit]

This article is misconceived in the following ways:

1. It deals with call and response, which is a perfectly legitimate topic in African and Afro-Latin music.

2. It gives a completely misleading account of the Spanish word pregón (= announcement), which in a musical Latin American context means a street-seller's cry, of which Peanut Vendor is a classic example. There is a whole book on this subject: Díaz Ayala, Cristóbal 1988. Si te quieres por el poco divertir: historia del pregón musical latinoamericano. Cubanacan, San Juan P.R.

Therefore, the call & response material should be tranferred to that article, and a new article on the pregón devised, and/or a section on the pregón inserted in the Son Cubano article, because pregóns are mostly sones.. Macdonald-ross (talk) 16:48, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
