I was wondering, with all the different Mozambique variations, is it considered “appropriate” to shift among the variations in the midst of an ongoing piece or groove.
I have 3 different Mozambique variations (for Conga & Tumba) under my belt that I’m comfortable with
...and now plenty of info on other variations, thanks to all who contributed.
I’ve been practicing going thru all 3 variations, for the sake of continuity…that is, to practice keeping within the time signature, while shifting amongst the other another rhythmic variations.
When a Mozambique groove starts within a specific rhythmic variation, does it generally stay within the framework, so to speak, of that variation until what I would call a .....“seismic shift”,
.....whereupon it changes to another variation, and again generally stays within the framework of that variation?
