nice Michael, you had the grace to transmit us the way to wonderful understanding that the cuban original musiciens don´t have; it's a perfect explanation, and I give you thanks a lot for sharing to the world.

@willowglenn Both rhythms are brought to Cuba by the Yorubas. The music from Bembe and Toque de guiros are both intimately linked to religion. The music of this liturgy is carried out by bata drums, the profane guiros or bembe drums and the last 2 types of instruments can be combined. A difference is that bembe is played with sticks and guiro with hands.

[@charlespurcell2018]

Thank You For Sharing Your Knowledge. Your videos are the easiest to follow, barring all teachers with videos. One question about the shekere pattern that is similar to the bell pattern ; Am I correct when to think the shekere pattern is the same as the bell pattern, but displaced in time .....same pattern but the notes are displaced ?

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

@gnog1969 Your welcome!

[@circlemusicmedia]

Hi Michael, It's clear to see you have dedicated a great deal of time, energy and passion into studying afro-cuban music and developed a great knowledge of these rhythm's and many thanks for the videos. Could you please explain why you use a 4/4 count in " 1 2 3 4" for all these 6/8 rhythms?

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

+Matt Dorahy Hi Matt, yes, I have studied (and still do) a lot about Cuban rhythms. I can spend my life on Cuban rhythms and still don't know everything... Most Cuban 6/8 rhythms are felt in 4 (like a shuffle). If you watch how they dance on 6/8 rhythms, you will see that it is in 4 too.

[@circlemusicmedia]

I too have studied extensively and am very well educated and I have to say this approach is incredibly problematic. Sure the rhythms have 4 strong pulse's (those being the dotted 1/4 notes) but those pulse's are certainly not four 1/4 notes? If this was the case why not write it in 4/4 and use triplets? By saying that it's in 4 you are not adhering to the 2:3 or 3:2 clave, your saying it's just one bar? I believe as educators we have a responsibility to the music and to our students to present any and all material correctly and I just can't see how, using a 4 count to start 6:8 rhythms fits into this criteria. To be clear this is a not a personal attack, this is just a conversation about education. Thanks for your time, Matt

[@vxla]

Far easier to understand the feel in 6/8 (or 12/8). Many people will write it in 12/8; personally I always use 6/8 as it's easier to visually see the 2 vs. 3 side of the clave with a bar line.

[@RuggeroArtaleDrums]

According my opinion Michael did right to use 12/8. Remenber that we are talking of rhythms that came from dance and 12/8 is the better way to put on paper what really happen when they play and dance this kind of music.

[@willowglenn]

Hi Michael. Do you know what the relationship is between this ritmo and a rhythm called Bembe? This seems very similar to a traditional Cuban 6/8 rhythm with that name...
