2/4 is a subdivision of the 4/4 time signature,but also it is more easy to write the music when you are talking about multiple percussion patterns.

hi, my question is probably a bit on the side of this discussion, but i wanted to ask this bata-forum about transcriptions of some bata patterns, like Shangos, Ogguns or other Orishas? i play 3 congas, and want to transfer batapatterns to my congas. so, i have to say i agree with Cuicado, i think these new patterns will help me become a better conguero, of course, as all new approaches would be.

I'm not certain, but I've heard of different "houses" where there are different rhythms or toques for certain oreshas. There are probably many versions out there. Within' the Bolano style are there different houses? Or would that be considered a house?

I think that something that would be important to understand (for those that might not) is that it would be important to actually have a highly experienced teacher to actually teach you Bata, Rumba or whatever. There are subtle things that you just can't notate. I think there is something very powerful about being in the presence of someone playing the styles as they were authentically intended.
