Subgenre of Cuban rumba

Guaguancó (Spanish pronunciation:[ɡwaɣwaŋˈko]) is a subgenre of Cuban rumba, combining percussion, voices, and dance.

There are two main styles: Havana and Matanzas.

Percussion

• battery of three conga drummers: the tumba o "salidor"(lowest), tres dos (middle, playing a counter-clave), and quinto (highest, and lead drum).

  These parts may also be played on cajones, wooden boxes.

• claves usually played by a singer
• guagua (aka Catà) (hollowed piece of bamboo)
• maraca and/or a chekeré playing the main beats

Other instruments may be used on occasion, for example spoons, palitos (wooden sticks striking the side of the drum), and tables and walls played like drums.

Clave

Rumba clave is the key pattern (guide pattern) used in guaguancó. There is some debate as to how the 4/4 rumba clave should be notated for guaguancó.^[1] In actual practice, the third and fourth stroke often fall in rhythmic position
