GENERAL INFO
I don't know if the following
rhythm is a tradional merengue pattern but when i went to S. Domingo
I saw that, most of the time, the conguero is playing this pattern
when a tambora player is in the band. If no tambora is playing you
can alternate by playing the Merengue 1 pattern
suggested by Gilson Silveira (which is basically a tambora pattern
with stick
played on congas).
