Rumba Columbia is a traditional Cuban pattern in 6: the "go-to" pattern for 12/8 - if you have only heard one Afro-Cuban rhythm in 12/8, this is probably it. As an energetic Afro-Cuban dance, Rumba was often suppressed and restricted because it…

@ Alister: Ha! I have a cuica - and I'm always looking for an excuse to play it - but I usually associate it with Brazilian carnival / samba music. But now that you have mentioned it, I'm going to fire that up in the near future. And thank you, but Pedro & Mauricio are legend, and light years ahead the stuff I produce.

Congrats Chris! It is very gratifying to have such a talented guitarist select your composition for his performance!
Superb!
Very, very clever. And excellent guitar & mandolin work. I love it! Totally pro!
I'm fascinated with what you did with the background percussion here. Shifted??
Great cover. You guys are awesome!
This is wonderful!
Excellent cover of a great band!
Excellent! This works well.
Ahh! A lovely time of year and this sounds just like it. The leaves are peaking right now in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Great work with this one!
Sounds like they dig 6/8 meter.
Ha! This strikes close to the bone, Keith.

Way to bring the jam to the people! Nice improv!
Go team!
