"Chan Chan" is a son composition by Cuban bandleader Compay Segundo, revolving around two central characters, 'Juanica' and 'Chan Chan'. The song was one of Compay's last compositions and was written in 1987. "Chan Chan" was recorded by Segundo himself various times as well as by many other Latin artists. A version of "Chan Chan" with Compay and other Cuban artists Eliades Ochoa and Ibrahim Ferrer is the first song on the album Buena Vista Social Club. This version of "Chan Chan" became a worldwide success and its first four chords are among the most well-known in Cuban music.
