[JohnnyConga]

@orangekush3 ..your absolutely right.....

[JohnnyConga]

as I have explained before my videos were not edited by me and i would have fixed things that have been pointed out...that I see now may need to be redone

JC obviously had the Son mixed with Con , but do not try to give an explaination which is even more wrong. The son is the traditional music style of Cuba. Usuallu played with bongoes, bass, singing and tres.

Now the goal of this video is to explain the son clave and it actually does the work no?no?

son is a plural form of the verb ser - to be

@pgan002 - sonido - sound

con - with

@pgan002 - I hope your sn doesn't mean you're a Pagan..God said you should have no other gods before me. Jesus Christ is Lord.

It's called "Syncopation". 4/4 sounding like 3/4. Standard latin Rythem!

"Son" means "sound".
