The presenter have good conversational skills in the presentation,well sound in the performing,..but as I said before, there were more than one approach and styles of Guaguanco in Habana,(the people of, Jesus Maria,Los Sitios,Belen,and Atare,(neighborhood),have diffent approaches in relation to the Salidor and Quinto,also there were differents approaches in relation to the etnic/background..the Arara/Approach,the Carabaly/Approach,the Bantu/Approach,and later the Approach with Yorubas influences…The differents approaches in relation to the Clave,(he only showed one)…The placing of syncopation and contrasyncopation, (in relation of the Salidor),…The displacing of the parameters of the musical phrase in relation to the Clave,(something that few,few rumberos dominate),..The articulation of Terciary metric in relation to the Clave,and later to the Salidor ,(back and forth), holding that articulation to the center of the Salidor,or to the right,or to the left..Development of the Mano Secreta articulation applied to the Guaguanco.etc.etc,These are things which are missing from many rumberos because they weren’t observing the ‘Die Hard Rumberos’ which are the creators of all these percutives articulation.Dr. Zaragemca
