The
clave rhythmic style is used as a tool for temporal organization in Afro-Cuban
music like rumba, conga de comparsas, son, mambo (music), salsa, latin jazz,
songo and timba. The five stroke clave pattern represents the functional core
of many Afro-Cuban songs. Just as a keystone hold an arch in place, the clave
style holds the song together in Afro-Cuban music. The clave style came in the
sub-Saharan Africa music traditions, where it serves essentially the same
function as it does in Cuban. The pattern is also originated in the African
diaspora music of Haitian vodou drumming and Afro-Brazilian music, the clave
pattern is used in the North American popular music as a song motif or ostinato
or simply a form of rhythmic decoration.
