The clave can guide you through the many descendants of the African music: Gospel, Soul, RandB, Blues, Jazz, Reggae. Clave rhythm is the basis of Afro-Latin musical styles and is considered the key, the identity, the root, and the "soul" of the music. It is the temporal key, the main organizing principle, to which every element of arrangement and improvisation in the music must be aligned.
We start the year with jazz, soul, house and latin from all corners of the world. Introducing the first single of Sunlightsquare Latin Combo "I Believe In Miracles", recorded in Havana at historic Radio Rebelde Studio 4. Out on Traxsource 8 Feb 2010.

“As neighbors and coworkers, African Americans and Puerto Ricans in New York had been partying together for many years. For decades they had been frequenting the same clubs, with Black and Latin bands often sharing the billing … African American audiences generally appreciated and enjoyed Latin music styles, yet those who fully understood the intricacies of Afro-Cuban rhythms and came to master the challenging dance movements remained the exception rather than the rule… Popular Latin bands found themselves creating a musical common ground by introducing the trappings of Black American culture into their performances and thus getting the Black audiences involved and onto the dance floor. “Bang Bang” by the Joe Cuba sextet and Latin boogaloo music in general was intended to constitute this meeting place between Puerto Ricans and Blacks and by extension, between Latin music and the music culture of the United States.” (Flores 2000)
"By the 1970's the overlapping of cultures in New York along with the complexities of attitudes of first, second and third generations of immigrants were unique to the City and meant that the description of Salsa as Pan-latin American style of music was too simplistic to describe New York's Latin music." - NU YORICA
