Abakua Rhythm Played on Congas Fast and Slow Tempo

The Abakua rhythm is played with a metric size of 6/8. The right and left hand interact in a very interesting way. They play open sound as if they were two parallel rhythms. A combination of two and three. An example of playing this rhythm can be seen in the video “Evolution of the Tumbadoras“ performed by maestro Changuito.
