Unlock the rhythmic possibilities of Afro-Cuban music by honing your independence across all four limbs! In this session, we dive into tumbao and rumba clave patterns applied to the feet, adding in different 2-beat phrases with the hands. To further expand on the Songo style, Claus demonstrates where this can be taken simply by mixing these patterns together in an improvisatory way, even more so when the hand patterns are varied in terms of right or left, unison, flams etc. This practice session will put your coordination, phrasing, and technical skills to the test!
