The Guajira style evolved from Cuban country music. The word Guajira literally means "peasant farmer". Guajira can be traced to a form of Spanish music that goes back to medieval times called "Troubadour" music. It was played by singer/poets of the era on a lute or guitar and was sung by rhyming words improvised as they went along.
This form of music was introduced in Cuba by Spanish colonists that settled the island. It was later adapted by Cuban peasent farmer who called it "punto guajiro" (Note the similarity in the words) and it is still widely played in Cuba.
Guajira was originally played in an ensamble consisting of a guitar and tres. (A Cuban guitar that is similar in sound to a lute), with minnor percussion such as clave, guiro (scraper) and maracas.
The original chord progression of the "Punto Guajiro" is I-IV-V-V in 2/4 time. But this evolved in the Guajira to a chord progression of I-IV-V-IV in a 2:3 clave pattern.
The examples here are in the format adapted by dance bands, where the piano plays vamps similar to those played by the guitar and tres.
If you wish to listen to more examples of Guajira we recommend recordings by Joseito Fernandez, Beny More and La Sonora Matancera.
