It is a Matanzas style.
I can double check my transcription later when I get home.

Yeah, you're right, Geordie. It's fundamentally the same as what Sandy taught us as the bembe rhythm to be played for the meta (male) orishas.

flaco999 wrote:Yes , the Rejino cd I have is the Afro Cuban study guide. I had it burned so I didn't get a track list , which is why I'm not so sure of some of the rythems played.
James was cool enough to show me Meta which he learned from Sandy Perez and I'm convinced that it's the same rythem on the first track with some subtle differences.
If anyone knows what that 4th track was please let me know, it goes
guataca x-x-xx-x-x-x
cachimbo ossossossoss
mula o--o--o--o--
caja o--Bs-B--Bs-
Like I said , a guy I'm playing with sayed Meta was bakoso, and i kinda felt like that wasn't the case.
Good thing we didn't break that one out for Yemaya or Ochun , right? LOL That would have been pretty embarrasing.
Everyone thanks again for your insight.
