This traditional Cuban rhythm is the well established "go-to" pattern for 4/4 songs. It is perhaps the most commonly heard conga pattern in 4/4 music. The bongo pattern that accompanies the congas is referred to as "martillo" (the hammer…

Geas sent me this tune for National talk like a pirate a day so we took it down the cellar and luckily Robert Newton was down there so we got him up on the stage and got him to do this little number......Hoping Yee enjoy eye arrh…
There are 3 styles of the Rumba Guáguánco pattern: this one originates from the Cuban province of Matanzas (to the east of Havana).
“Rumba” is a Spanish term for a gathering of musicians, singers & dancers (what West Africans refer to…
@Bee: Yes, these traditional patterns frequently have a melody of their own, and while it can be varied to some degree, an audience familiar with the pattern (and the dancers) expect to hear that melody.
Otherwise the percussionist had better be playing behind some protective chicken-wire!
My contribution to the Angie Fights Crime album "Sunny, Sorta..." AFC wrote the lyrics and chords, then gave me free reign to do what I wanted from there.

This is my contribution to the Angie Fights Crime project titled "Sunny Sorta"...." It's 12 songs written by A.F.C. and performed by 12 different artists.
I chose Honky Tonk Prison because I knew it would rock and roll :)
So CRANK IT UP…
Another one from last nights session down the cellar.........Well it was only a matter of time before Reg had enough of her, she reminded him too much of Desire......now he's gone.......it was goodbye.........
Eerrgh! I *knew* that Desire was a big mistake for you. I'm afraid that she might haunt you forever. (What ever happened to her??) Nice dog-house bass.
I salivated over this $3,500 guitar last night. I had the "expensive guitar room" at Guitar Center to myself so I played and recorded on my zoom H2. Yes, this is guitar p0rn...
I hijacked Norbert Oldani's excellent piano improvisation and add some guitar to it.
His original is here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5150711/PianoI911.mp3

This improvisation (chords, melody and lyrics) is complete fiction and any resemblance to anything at all is just a coincidence.

I had this mellow tune hanging around when I heard "Love is Life" by The Two Regs and thought I need to catch the other Reg while he's around.
Lucky for me he had the time, the voice, and the melody. We created this lovely tune.
I was electrified…
