How to Play Claves | African Drums

[@worldwideworldwide4173]

This is an ancient African musical instrument, rhythm and pattern still used in African music today in Africa as well as by descendants of Africa today in music. The sound is the sound of Africa with the exact same pattern. It does not have Latin origin and is rather one of many “African Rhythm” introduced to Latin culture by Afro-Latinos. We have Africans in many cultures across the globe sharing the sound of Africa. You will hear this music and rhythm sound in servers cultures outside of Latin for that reason. Everybody give a shout out TO AFRICA. Listen to Afro Beat Music, Afro Dance Music, Nigerian Music, Angola Music, Uganda Music, Ghana Music, and more (all in Africa) and you will find this instrument rhythm and same rhythm pattern and sound. Latin culture has Afro-Latino to thank for introducing the sound to the culture (Afro-Dominican, Afro-Puerto Rican, Afro-Brazilian, Afro-Cuban) but that doesn’t make it Latin. It’s still an African instrument and music by very ancient origin. The instrument and rhythm sound is new to Latin culture, but not to Africa and it’s people by African descent. It’s passed down generation to generation and remains The Sound of African.

I love the claves

[@fransandling5822]

I think I may have found my answer to the music and sounds I hear in my head

[@NeverStoppedSinging]

If this video only existed when I was making claves for my ethno-musicology class in my music school...

[@nbuehster]

I don't know if anything like this exists, but it would be interesting if there was something you could hold in one hand, like a Castanet Clapper, but instead it was claves. (like musical spoons)

What part of Africa is the claves from

[@jcyberj]

Clave is the basic beat of the Ghanaian kpanlogo rhythm family. However, it was popularized as a Latin rhythm.

Jimi Cyber interesting, the Origen of the Cuban music come for play of clave,thanks Africa

[@independentpuppy7520]

I heard it mainly used in Cuban Rumbas. I thought it was from Latin America.

[@musictravelguide]

@@independentpuppy7520, I thought the same! Undoubtedly, all the music and rhythms we listen to nowadays go back to Africa.
