However, the first sentence is actually "Oye como va mi ritmo", meaning "Listen to how my rhythm goes ." </P> <P> The song has the classic rhythm and tempo of cha - cha - cha . It has similarities with "Chanchullo" by Israel "Cachao" López . The Latin Beat Magazine writes, "Cachao's tumbaos for his 1937 composition of Rareza de Melitón (later changed to Chanchullo) inspired Tito Puente's signature tune' Oye Como Va' ." On the original recording of the song the voice of Santitos Colon, the Puente orchestra singer at the time, can be heard in the song along with those of Puente and other orchestra musicians . Cachao can be heard playing contrabass in some of Tito Puente's live versions of "Oye Como Va". </P>
