An academic question
Posted: Thu Nov 25, 2010 3:27 pm
HI there highly learned friends ( David are you still lurking around here?)
I wonder if you could help me remember the name, or rather the adjective that qualifies rhythms that stress both the one and the subdivision next to it.
As in Fela's afrobeat xx..xx..xx..xx..
or Brazil aguere xx..x.x.
or Bravum xx..x..
and thousands of African rhythms...
I have it on the tip of my tongue for months. It is something like iambic ( but I think that is for Shakspearian poetry).
Also rhythms that don't do that also have a name. What is it?
many thanks
