Just for the records,the 6/8 time signature have been incorporated in several genre,without having to necessarily incorporate Yorubas' bells patterns.There is Irish-music, symphonic-music,Mexican-music(Guapanco),Venezuelan music(Joropo),Perubian music(Walts peruano), and jazz music(Jonh Coltrane,Miles Davis,Chick Corea,Herbie Hancock,etc. All of them in 6/8.The 6/8 meant, the 'time-signature' in which the music is structure,(not necessarily Yoruba-Music,..or that a bells patterns have to be there).
