Clave Consciousness vol 2, Rumba Clave
This lesson and groove session is focused on Rumba clave and AbaCua Clave. These two intriguing patterns are found in many styles of world music today.

Kim Atkinson teaches you the patterns from the inside out: “We count and clap the patterns in different ways, and I show you two hand coordination and other exercises to get the feeling into your body. The lesson ends with 25 minutes of clave grooves at different tempos for you to play along with. If you are interested in clave in “6-8″ this is a great lesson for you.”

About the Rhythm: HiLife
There are many styles of Highlife in Africa, with the center of the movements being in Ghana and Nigeria. It is an urban music form that is sung in several languages, sometimes within the same song. During the 1970′s in Nigeria, Highlife was supplanted by AfroBeat , a style created by Fela Kuti. Strictly speaking, Highlife is an ensemble based rhythm with the addition of guitars, horns, electric bass and singers.
