El Guayaboso is a choral guaguanco. This composition, written on a ‘nonsense text’ was first composed in the 1960s for a youth chorus and in 1980s, the composer conceived a version for mixed chorus in which the voices sing the percussion parts.

El Guayaboso
Guido López Gavilán (1948-)
Lyrics:
Yo ví bailar un danzón En el filo de un cuchillo.
Un mosquito en calzoncillos, y una mosca en camisón.
Yo ví un cangrejo arando, un cochino tocando un pito
Y una vieja regañando, sentada en una butaca,
A una ternerita flaca, que de risa estaba muerta, al ver una chiva
tuerta, remendar una alpargata.
Translation:
I saw dance a danzon,on the edge of a knife,
A mosquito in shorts and a fly in her nightgown.
I saw a crab plowing, a pig playing a whistle
And an old scolding, sitting in an armchair.
To a skinny ternerita, that laugh intensely,
seeing a one-eyed goat mending a sandal.
