In this article, we'll explore how you can learn singing like Compay Segundo, a famous Cuban musician and composer. He became a legend as a member of the Buena Vista Social Club, and has inspired many singers with his unique voice and style.

One of the defining features of Compay Segundo's voice is his use of the tresillo rhythm, which is a pattern of three notes played over two beats. This rhythm can be heard in many of his songs, such as "Chan Chan" and "La Juma de Ayer." To learn to sing like Compay Segundo, it's important to practice the tresillo rhythm and see how he incorporates it into his music.

Another aspect of Compay Segundo's singing is his use of vibrato. Vibrato is the slight variation of pitch or timbre of a note, which adds a lot of character and emotion to a singer's voice. You can learn to use vibrato by practicing breathing exercises, such as Farinelli Breathing or the Diaphragm Bounce, and incorporating it into your singing.
