For examples of the older con-clave approach, I recomend Francisco Agabella's playing on the late 50's
recordings "Afro-Roots" (Mongo Santamaria) and "Top Percussion" (Tito Puente). No doubt some other congaboard members will have some other recomendations too.
While I'm at it I would like to ask another question. In rumba columbia I have noticed more than once that a guaguanco pattern is used. Is this the same pattern but played in 6/8 at a fast speed or what. For example on Afro roots track 21 " columbia".
Thats probably a misnomer since, columbia and guaguanco and completely different rhythms...they play different roles and the dances are different...this may have been an example of a jiribilla type guaguanco that was labeled columbia?
