RitmoClave Discussion Forum


Welcome to RitmoClave Egroup Discussion Forum


Current Discussion on the RitmoClave Forum:
Creating a list of Latin "salsa" songs in which the clave switches from 2-3 to 3-2 and/or back.

Ritmo Clave Glossary
of Terms & Theory

The first of it's kind, a work in progress interactive platform pioneered by musician Bobby Ramirez that documents new and existing terms and definitions that relate to the Clave. It is part of an ongoing exploration encompassing the conceptual theory that envelops the usage and multi-application of the African-based Clave rhythm in Latin music.


LA CLAVE

The use of the "Clave" as applied to Latin rhythms and other forms of music throughout the world is perhaps one of the most inconspicuous musical mysteries in modern times. Does the "Clave" only exist in Latin music or is it also evident in other styles of music? How many "clave" rhythms truly exist? Here we will attempt to unlock these mysteries by analyzing classic musical arrangements as well as exploring its roots and influences on modern music.
