{{Main|Salsa (musical structure)}}

Most salsa compositions follow the basic son montuno model based on the Afro-Cuban clave rhythm and composed of a verse section, followed by a [[coro-pregón]] (call-and-response) chorus section known as the [[montuno]]. The verse section can be short, or expanded to feature the lead vocalist and/or carefully crafted melodies with clever rhythmic devices. Once the montuno section begins, it usually continues until the end of the song. The tempo may gradually increase during the montuno in order to build excitement. The montuno section can be divided into various sub-sections sometimes referred to as ''mambo'', ''diablo'', ''moña'', and ''especial''.<ref>Bobby Sanabria 1998 ''Latinjazz''.</ref>
