- Learn the son and rumba clave beats and rhythms in this video lesson.
Practice playing the clave with the Latin Percussion White Wood Clave: amzn.to/1X5AzJd
The clave is a rhythmic pattern used as a tool for temporal organization in Afro-Cuban music. It is present in a variety of genres such as Abakuá music, rumba, conga, son, mambo, salsa, songo, timba and Afro-Cuban jazz. The five-stroke clave pattern represents the structural core of many Afro-Cuban rhythms.
The clave pattern originated in sub-Saharan African music traditions, where it serves essentially the same function as it does in Cuba. In ethnomusicology, clave is also known as a key pattern, guide pattern, phrasing referent, timeline, or asymmetrical timeline. The clave pattern is also found in the African diaspora musics of Haitian Vodou drumming, Afro-Brazilian music and Afro-Uruguayan music (candombe). The clave pattern is used in North American popular music as a rhythmic motif or ostinato, or simply a form of rhythmic decoration.
The hand percussion instrument known as claves, consist of a pair of short (about 20-30 cm (7.9-11.8 in), thick dowels. Traditionally they are made of wood, typically rosewood, ebony or grenadilla. In modern times they are also made of fibreglass or plastics.
When struck they produce a bright clicking noise. Claves are sometimes hollow and carved in the middle to amplify the sound.

This man is by far the absolute best teacher of Latin music I have ever come across on video in the thirty or so years that I've been interested in learning about it.
Thank you Sir. I appreciate your comment very much. I was lucky I had myself a good pack of good teachers explaining things to me in a clear and understandable way... Muchas Gracias!
Thank you for this! I am a middle school science teacher in the South Bronx, and proud Nuyorican. We have different signals to get the students' attention. I love to use the clave beat. I clap it as the call to attention, and the students clap it back to let me know they hear me and they are ready. Its a great way to affirm their african roots (since all life originated there), and it brings a lot of joy. But many of them were unfamiliar with the clave beat. So I played the beginning of your video and they got it right away! 🥰
Is it a call and responce thing ? You do the first part and they respond? 2/3 or 3/2.
I learned to play the clave rhythm on a cowbell. The 6/8 on an iron ago-go, with the 1 on the lower bell.
This was for basic African rhythms played on conga/djembe. Later I learned rhumba clave rhythm. That’s was in the mid 90’s. Our instructor taught us that if we choose to play cowbell or clave we have to be ON IT, as far as keeping time. Not only to keep the time for the musicians, also because it is loud. Great video. They are some sad sticks being sold as ‘clave’. No punch, too small. Old rosewood ones are the best!!!
What a fabulous class. My favorite teacher, by far. Fun and informative. If you want to learn percussion, this is the place to start.
I was searching something like this for my intro to Son class this coming weekend and I have to say - one of the best videos I've seen on Cuban rhythm. I'm not a musician but everything taught in this video will make me a better dancer.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
La mejor y mas detallada explicación que he visto para entender la clave !!!!! Gracias !!!!
Really nice to get a little context. You convey ”feel” and conscious knowledge.
Glad you liked it!
Yayyyy. I am a drummer and drumming instructor. I really think that Dance Papi is an EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT COMMUNICATOR! Remember that English is probably not even his first language, and yet his choice of words of explanation in English is absolutely superb. Of course you can tell that he has been speaking English for many years, and I'm sure also teaching in English. I have great respect for this amazing gentleman. He used fantastic, colorful analogies in his explanations also. What I particularly like here is that he is clearly explaining something that is second nature and indigenous to him since he was a boy growing up listening and dancing to his native music; and yet without condescending, he breaks it down and makes it very easy to understand to the non Latin musician or dancer. Anyway, bravissimo to a fabulous educator.
Thank you so much for the explanation! I have always been so confused between the 2/3 and 3/2 claves and Son and Rumba clave rhythm, thinking that whichever side the 2 and 3 counts hit made them either Son or Rumba claves. I have asked people and Googled to try to figure it out and you totally cleared up the confusion for me. Your explanation is so clear and thorough.
I can't learn this fast enough! Thank you, Papi!
Excellent, thank you! You're probably the only guy who can make a 45 min video on a (seemingly) simple two bar rhythm and make it interesting as well as entertaining... very good & helpful resource on the topic!! Best wishes to you, your family & friends!!!
Thank you!
I'm amazed at how complex it is to beat two pieces of wood together. Very informative video thank you!
Love home boys t-shirt in these videos, awesome energy!
I love Cuban music and I play. Absolutely correct, clave was developed in Cuba. It originated in Sub Saharan Africa. Just an observation. Give Thanks
This video is so so good. 6 years late to the party but wow. So insightful!
You explained Claves perfectly. I like your style.
Man!!! This hurt my brain so much (in a good way), well done.. esp at 31:11 the singing alongside rumba clave, best exercise ever to learn to hear the beats!! Thank you. EDIT: I've now listened to a few songs and was finally able to hear the clave rithm :-)) great explanations, so comprehensive
You have cleared up so much muckery in this video. I love your combination of love for the music, your cerebriality, and the fact that it moves your body too. All three are important to me. Thanks so much!
I just received my first set of claves an hour ago and found you on UA-cam. Thank you! You’re a great teacher with a passion for rhythm.
Awesome! Thank you!
I feel like I'm in your living room......you have given me more understanding of the Clave in 45 min than I had discovered in 2years of playing Tumbau......many thanks Edgardo!
Thank you for the kind comments! We have new videos coming soon!

I have no words to thank you, Dance Papi! Greetings from Greece and fairwell!
Thank you so much!
Mil Gracias, Maestro
I kept asking dance teachers if you could tell the difference between a 3:2 and 2:3 Clave if the Clave is implicit only.
None of them could give me a decent answer. Finally I have my answer as to how the other instruments are arranged around the Clave. Thank you..
Thank you so much for this! The together-hand-foot starting at 20:15 really made it a lot better for me ! Great, thanks !!!
Excellent video.!!...I invite you to know why THE KEY is...THE KEY..

Very few know how to teach theory, history of the instrument, and how to execute the rhythmic patterns.
AWESOME ‼️
Never listened to Latin music a day in my life and just watched this dude talking about these tiny logs for almost an hour...
These tiny logs can groove... :-)
Shane, welcome to Latin Music (African based Latin Music), I take your comment as a great compliment! Thanks for watching. Edgardo.
De muchos de los videos aca en youtube, este viejo es el mejor, the music is in Dance Papis blood!
thanks from germany for this very nice video. I learned a lot. :-)
Glad to hear that!
no soy cubana pero oírte cantar guaguanco(si no es guaguanco perdona la ignorancia) me llego al alma que bonito
Gracias Ana!
Outstanding! Thank you!!!
This video has helped me so much in being able to stay dancing on beat during complex salsa songs. Thank you!
Gracias! Muy bien explicado la diferencia entre son y rumba clave. Ahora a enseñar musica cubana a los alumnos aqui e Dinamarca.
I've just stated latin jazz piano lesson. So it was worth watching this lesson. Thank you very much. I was reading about clave as a pattern played on the pulse of the song. Tbey said that it's as important in lafro-cuban music as swing is in traditional jazz.
Muchísimas gracias maestro, en esta clase ud. entrega un montón de conocimiento tan valioso. Saludos desde Chile!
Salud!
You really understand how to teach! Thank you
Salud!
Great explanation. I enjoy finding clave in many rock & roll recordings from the 50s,60s, 70s then pointing it out to my music loving friends I've tried to enlighten. 3,2 clave is all over pop music.
Very, very well explained. Best instruction I have ever seen on this concept!
Thank you so much for your excellent teaching method. Your singing of rhythms and melodic counting helps so much. 🙏
This is very good. I am the former undefeated World Salsa Champion, as well as Univisions Salsero Mas Caliente, (and a Gringo) would recommend this video for all Salseros to watch and practice. Your explanations and music interpretation for all is outstanding. Congratulations!
Thank you Issac! Very kind of you to say!
Very clear 👍
Thank you Dance Papi! 😊😎 I visited Cuba in Holguin and I loved the people. 😘
Salud!
Thank you so much, this is a fantastic class, grounded in tradition and delivered in a graceful and charming manner. I will share!
Salud!
I watched this video intently (and I will again and again). Thank you for your insight on Facebook to my question, and for your knowledge that you are sharing. You make me a better (aspiring) musician. - Gerry V.
The best, Dance Papi! Gracias, amigo! Sabes que me gusta la camiseta! Bien firme!
Gracias Edgardo. Tus videos son clarísimos y muy generosos.

Muchisimas gracias! I'm taking an Afro-cuban percussion class and your tutorial has really helped me to understand the fundamentals of the clavé and where it fits in. I am looking forward to learning how these clavé rhythms fit with the conga, bongo, and timbales rhythms! Hasta luego!
wonderful class!He must be a experience educator,explaining all in a simply and clear way!Thank you so much!
Thank you Zishi!
Love this!
Thanks a lot.
This video is so much helpfully for me, and now i clearly understand the differences or the types of clave.
God bless you.
Thank you Widy!
Bought 'Son' claves as a souvenir in Cuba... Now I can play them (correctly) too! ;-) Grtz from Son, Belgium
Happy playing!
Son Mertens what a perfect choice; the clave rhythm is perhaps the singular point of birth of every note and dynamic the band feels and plays to in Latin, which further heavily impacted every second of music that causes (forces) the body to move to the music. clave to me is a trance drug :)
enjoy much..... note that SOME AfroLatin songs play clave very explicitly, while others are much more subtle. When feeling it clicks, you'll never recover :)
Son Mertens nice to know in Belgium you enjoy the clave. We race pigeons "Duiven" here in America and Belgium is the birth place of it.
Excelentísima explicación maestro! Mil gracias!!! Voy a verme todos sus videos ya mismo.
Gracias Marco!

Excellent thank you

Love your videos. I'm learning the bongo and thought I'd better get a good understanding of the clave. I'd love to see you do some more on the bongo. I feel I need to buy some Congas now plus a nice set of clave. Please keep the videos coming.
We'll be filming more bongo videos! Stay tuned!
Thanks a lot from Belgium
soo well described! thanks.
So great video
Many thanks
Now I know why I was confused while grouping strokes in rumba clave
Thanks for watching!
Fascinating. Thanks for the lecture.
Good stuff!
This is an ancient African musical instrument, rhythm and pattern still used in African music today in Africa as well as by descendants of Africa today in music. The sound is the sound of Africa with the exact same pattern. It does not have Latin origin and is rather one of many “African Rhythm” introduced to Latin culture by Afro-Latinos. We have Africans in many cultures across the globe sharing the sound of Africa. You will hear this music and rhythm sound in servers cultures outside of Latin for that reason. Everybody give a shout out TO AFRICA. Listen to Afro Beat Music, Afro Dance Music, Nigerian Music, Angola Music, Uganda Music, Ghana Music, and more (all in Africa) and you will find this instrument rhythm and same rhythm pattern and sound. Latin culture has Afro-Latino to thank for introducing the sound to the culture (Afro-Dominican, Afro-Puerto Rican, Afro-Brazilian, Afro-Cuban) but that doesn’t make it Latin. It’s still an African instrument and music by very ancient origin. The instrument and rhythm sound is new to Latin culture, but not to Africa and it’s people by African descent. It’s passed down generation to generation and remains The Sound of Africa. Trinidad and Tobago’s Soca Music, Jamaican Music (reggae and Dancehall), St Lúcia Afro, all has this same pattern in their Music.
Excellent video.!!...I invite you to know why THE KEY is...THE KEY..
