Matanzas-style guaguancó
Posted: Wed Jul 07, 2010 7:58 pm
A while back I was shown a Tumba part for the Matanzas-style guaguancó.
I then did some searching around and stumbled on this great video (which sadly now seems to have some sound problems - but I'll post anyhow) which shows a two drum Matanzas-style guaguancó part way through.

Although I don't speak the language I think I worked out the pattern as:
h h t t h h O t / o * tc t h h t O t /
does that seem right?
/ = bar line
Capitol O = salidor [tumbadora]
small letters = conga
* =8th note rest
Cheers
