Cueing
the start of the dance cycle: Introduction
The
tumbao moderno is a fundamental rhythm in salsa, which can be
found, though not exclusively, at slow-tempo in güajiras;
at mid-tempo in chachachás and son-montunos; and
up-tempo in mambos.
We'll
start by getting acquainted with the most prominent tonal feature of
the rhythm - the double open tones, and its role in the dancing of salsa.
Contrary to what you might expect, this tutorial is about first learning
when not to dance; and it is from there that we infer when to
dance.
