Afro-Cuban
Afro-cuban rhythm in 6/8 time. Pretty much completely from Victor Lopez (Latin Rhythms). This probably isn't the greatest Afro-Cuban rhythm ... but it does sound fairly descent. If you understand this stuff, please help!! This is implemented as a 3/4 time, which means that your 6/8 melody notes will fit in perfectly.
