Members agogobill Posted December 15, 2012 Members Share Posted December 15, 2012 elevator flamenco ... not really hearing or feeling any clave that is present in Afro-Cuban (which includes bolero) or bossanova. It's hard to pin a name other than "elevator" on that style as it's so smoothed over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members agogobill Posted December 16, 2012 Members Share Posted December 16, 2012 I don't mean to knock the guitar playing (which is very nice, btw) ... you asked about the rhythms. They are pretty bland/generic compared to the styles you were guessing. If you were to listen to actual bossanova or Afro-Cuban (which is a generalization of many styles of Cuban music), you would hear the difference. As I said, the rhythms have no clave feel, which is essential to the styles you were asking about.Obviously a non-guitarist here (but I'll take Maria Rosario Pilar Martinez Molina Baeza any day).

Members zildjian@consol Posted December 16, 2012 Members Share Posted December 16, 2012 Agogobill is right about the clave feel or lack of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members the DW Posted December 16, 2012 Members Share Posted December 16, 2012 my guess: First one sounds to me like Merengue. Second one is just your typical smooth jazz beat, no particular name as far as I know. Third one sounds more Spanish than Latin even with the percussion, but no clue what it would be called. just guessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vinniewannabe Posted December 17, 2012 Members Share Posted December 17, 2012 The first one is a version of the samba. The second one is just a straight- ahead back-beat..not a lot of latin flavor in regards to the drumming. Same thing with the last tune - very fusion-y, less "traditional" so it's hard to pin-point exactely what it is. But I am not an expert on latin music.

Members 1001gear Posted December 18, 2012 Members Share Posted December 18, 2012 Tend to agree with all the previous. There must be hundreds of specific Lat/Cubo/Afran patterns. To me it's all mix and match like most of the pop music these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
