The Roots of Timba, Pt I - 1950-La juventud de Cayo Hueso

1950 Arsenio Rodríguez - La juventud de Cayo Hueso
bassist: Lázaro Prieto
source: Montuneando

notes: Juventud de Cayo Hueso has three different bass tumbaos and an extraordinary bloque.

bass tumbao 2 - MIDI

As you can see, tumbao 2, which accompanies Lilí Martínez' piano solo, uses the same rhythm as the first tumbao, but is only half as long. The MIDI example is one of several melodic variations Prieto plays on the same rhythm.

The bloque which transitions into the diablo marks the coro and clave, then repeats a 3-beat cross-rhythm 3 times, and then further ratchets up the rhythm tension by going into triplets.

Tumbao 3 is 2 claves long, with a figure that doubles the coro to mark the 2-side in an very timba-like way:
