Chéquere-son (source) featured a seamless Cubanization of Charlie Parker's bebop classic Billie's Bounce (source), paving the way for the rapid-fire hornlines that NG La Banda would call los metales de terror.

They called their new style cha-onda (source) and it continued to influence groups like Maravilla de Florida and later, the timba movement, long after Aragón had returned to its more traditional roots.
