Chaguiri, thank you. That is a great rumba columbia by Columbia del Puerto, I think they are from Cardenas.

I just noticed that the bell (guataca) part is not a straight 6/8 pattern. I could be wrong, but it sounds like the first half of the bell part is 6/8, but the second half is 4/4. The guagua is in 4/4, and is in rhythmic harmony with the bell. Usually with a 4/4 guagua and 6/8 bell, the rhythms clash and it doesn't sound quite right. The problem is in the third to last note of the bell part (written as capital X below), which falls a little earlier in a 6/8 than the capital X in a 4/4. In this song, they are exactly coincident. There is a slight hesitation before the third to last note of the bell part.
1 3 1 3 1
4/4 .x|x.xx.x.x|x.X.xx.x|x. guagua
1 4 1
6/8 .x|x . x . xx. X . x.x|x. guataca

where x is a note and . is a rest. The downbeats in the 4/4 coincide in time with the 1 and 4 of the 6/8, but the
capital Xs are a tiny bit apart and normally clash. In this song, they don't because the X in the 6/8 is delayed just slightly, making the second half of the 6/8 measure sound like 4/4. Usually we resolve this clash by playing the clave and guagua in 6/8, but in this song, the guagua is straight 4/4 and the bell stretches to fit that.

David Peñalosa, are you out there? I know you have thought about this, what do you think? Anyone else hear the 4/4 section of the bell part? Or am I imagining it?
Also, check out how the drummers and singers work with the dancers. They are all talking to the dancer, not just the quinto.

Esa columbia esta de p!nga chacho! La columbia matancera es muy linda.

Yes I was thinking the same thing..
Very interesting. Kind of like playing the clave more 4/4ish over Columbia.
It makes a ripping to shreads sort of feel.. :angry:

I didn't really check out the video, that said I was taught to solo in 4/4 over rumba colombia.
