Afro-Cuban Rhythm
|
It mixes Afro-Cuban clave-based rhythms with jazz harmonies and techniques of improvisation. The habanera was the first written music to be rhythmically based on an African motif. The habanera rhythm (also known as congo, tango-congo, or tango.) can be thought of as a combination of tresillo and the backbeat.

Afro-Cuban jazz—jazz rhythmically based on clave, often with a rhythm section employing ostinato patterns from Cuban popular dance music. Afro-Brazilian jazz—includes bossa nova and jazz samba. |
