(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia):A sonero is, in a strict sense, a man or woman who sings or plays the Afro-Cuban son, but today usually refers to the improvising lead singer in the salsa style. A good sonero improvises rhythmically, melodically, and verbally against the refrain of the coro. The word guarachero is a synonym, though less used.According to the senior editor of Latin Beat magazine and music historian, at first, anybody who played the son, whether singer or instrumentalist, was a sonero. However, he says that "in recent decades, particularly since the 1960s, people have identified the word 'sonero' with the singers."Hector Lavoe, Moises "Yumuri" Valle, Lalo Rodriguez, Cano Estremera, Ismael Rivera, Ismael Miranda, La Corporacion Latina, Frankie Ruiz, Tito Allen, Puertorican Power, Sammy Marrero, Los Terricolas, Los Angeles Negros, Buena Vista Social Club, Keko Hernandez, El Gran Combo, Grupo Niche, Sonora Poncena, Sonora Carruseles, Los Van Van.
