Chan Chan is a song composed by Cuban bandleader Compay Segundo, revolving around two central characters, Juanita and Chan Chan. The song was one of Compay's last compositions and was written in 1987. Chan Chan had already been recorded by the composer himself various times, but worldwide success came with a version with Compay and other Cuban artists like Eliades Ochoa and Ibrahim Ferrer as the first song on the album Buena Vista Social Club.
