Yeah.
The latin / spanish cultures use of rhythm is much more complex then found in european music. There is much more emphasis on the triplet and complex subdivisions found within. In flamenco music they actually think in rhythmic phrases, usually in 12's, with accents falling on various beats..usually 3,6,8,10,& 12.This totally defeats the european tradition of bar lines and measures and the restrictions that fall within. With this new project we are utulizing the rhythmic techniques and song forms of latin cultures with the complex harmonic and improvisational aspects found in jazz.
