*** QUIZ #6 *** Sad news came today that a Mambo legend - an icon not only of a bygone era but, of a time of great musical depth, understanding and connection, has passed away. As most will know but, for those that dont know: Barbara “Barbie” Craddock was part of an era that innovated and pioneered. As a beginner (even in your very first class) you learn techniques and moves which are the direct result of these innovations and pioneering of Mambo legends such as Barbara. So to mark today with some dignity and respect I have decided to recommence the quizes. There has been some misunderstanding and confusion as to the point of these but now is not the time to clarify - this will come later. For now, LET ME BE CLEAR: There are no right or wrong answers - ONLY what you think, through what you have been told or learned. I encourage you to have a go. So we reconvene with an example Barbara and her friends would have instantly recognised as a Havanero Guaguanco. There are two sections in this song 00:00 - ± 05:30 and from there on to the end. if you want to hear the complete band skip to 05:26 My question to you: What CLAVE PATTERN is this song? You have 2 options: 3/2 clave pattern or a ⅔ clave pattern. IF that is too easy then I ask you to determine whether it is Rumba clave or Son clave. youtu.be/SwgWNSuMG1E?t=1m56s
