A single track of improvised chromatically tuned congas in 7/8, accented with clave, guiro, cajon and quinto.

(For those who may be interested in collaborating on this, the triplet phrasing of this groove may be most easily counted like this: “1 2 3 4 5 6 1 2 3 4 5 6 sev-en” - at least that’s how I hear it.)

7/8 160bpm.
