Award Sounds

I've mentioned flamenco in recent articles. I want to diverge from the typical guitar/singer/castanets view of flamenco and move to the more energic latin rhythms. Rather than write what's written elsewhere, The Fifth Fret gives a good article on what Bossa Nova means. 

Notice the stress on the rhythms. It's important. Again we find a stress pattern that works across bars, especially with the bass playing on different beats to normal.
