@willowglenn Hey Glenn,Micheal can answer for sure. Bembe is 6/8 based but with 3 drums. check out Bembe overview by Congamasterclass and Bembe by Isla Productions. I echo that Micheals material is one of the best for comprehension.

@alemancito84 I think there are already a lot of nice books with the rhythms that are on Youtube. So I am not planning to publish my own book. But who knows, one day.....
And thanks for your nice comment!

Hi Michael.
Do you know what the relationship is between this ritmo and a rhythm called Bembe?
This seems very similar to a traditional Cuban 6/8 rhythm with that name...

@willowglenn Both rhythms are brought to Cuba by the Yorubas. The music from Bembe and Toque de guiros are both intimately linked to religion. The music of this liturgy is carried out by bata drums, the profane guiros or bembe drums and the last 2 types of instruments can be combined.
A difference is that bembe is played with sticks and guiro with hands.

This was great Michael, I've always wanted to know how this was done. Thanks for your amazing videos. Now I need to find someone to practice all of these with!
