- Salsa’s Tumbao Rhythm. This rhythm carries a more complex patterns. Its generally played by the conga drum and some consider it an instrumental rhythm in Salsa. About 90% of Salsa songs utilize the Tumbao. Because of its bass attributes, it’s a bit hard to hear it unless the other instruments lower their volume.
The Tumbao rhythm will give a clear hint of where is the 2nd and 6th beat on each measure when Salsa dancing. If you dance Salsa On2, this rhythm will surely help you stay on beat.
Finding the beat can be difficult when listening to Salsa music. The music is layered with so many instruments on top of each other that it can get confusing to dance and stay on beat.
The good news is that Salsa uses some core percussive rhythms in their songs and if you become familiarized with how each one sounds, along with the numerical value of its beats, and you’ll become a master at understanding tempo and on the road to become a more musical with your dance movement and choices of moves you use.
This tool above is ideal for dancers and musicians especially, as a tool to enhance creativity and understand the musical components that are typical of Mambo, Guaguanco, Guajira, Son, Cha-cha and beyond. - Jak na to + styl

@@TheSalsaBeat Thanks! I'm listening in from the United States :) I'm learning how to play Latin percussion instruments, and I discovered that the key to getting it is to have a good understanding of clave. 😁
@acelbautista4144 nice. We’re in San Diego California. Enjoy the journey. Are you learning to play Salsa , dance Salsa or both?
Excellent
🤩 Thanks Misael. Where are you watching us from?
@@TheSalsaBeat I m a colombian guy living in Houston TX for 25 years with 1000% salsa blood
🇨🇴Parcero! Im Colombian too. De Palmira Valle. I’ve Been living in San Diego California for 24 yrs.
Huh this is why I dance on 1
Yep, the brain doesn't like to work
Salsa On 1 or On 2 ?
This rhythm can be danced on both. But it’ll feel more to the music if you dance it On2, so that when you step forward and back you’ll be more in tune which the slap of the conga on the 2nd and 6th beat.
Still can't find the 1 😂
bum bum one ... bum bum five ... bum bum one ...
Its in The silent part after bum bum Just before the 2 clap. Easier to find The 1 when there is trumpets or guitars that usually starts at The 1 beat
@jonasekstrom1067 I completely agree. I use the Tumbao rhythm only to find the 2 and 6. I love cowbel for the 1 but the cowbell generally doesn’t kick in till half into the song. However, the montuno of the piano is my go to when it comes to finding the 1. Have you heard that rhythms visual of ours?
If you don't feel the Beat it's much more difficult to learn Latin dancing.
Tell ‘em girl! ;)
Takes time. Took me about 2 months to start feeling the rhythm, from having none at all, and that meant attending classes from three different schools and going to every social I could find + one of the larger Latin dance festivals in my part of the world.
Salsa is very complex music. When you're used to simplistic Western pop music, there's a huge learning curve just to kind of start getting it.
The problem is, now I have a severe Latin dance addiction.
@@centralintelligenceagency9003 Whoever you are the only way to ever be able to learn Latin dancing, and if you are not Latin from birth, is to take lessons from a person who is Latin. Latin people already have the the rhythm because they learn to dance as children.
Don't give up take lots of lessons and go out and ask someone to dance. Good luck. Keep Salsa 💃 dancing!!
I complete agree with you. My friend and partner created these videos to help me understand the music and these rhythms we do love to dance.
@@jennycolacino2088 stfu. Latin people take classes to learn salsa too and take time to learn it as well. Stop the generalizations. On CZcams I've seen a bunch of non Latin people teach salsa very well. I'm "Latin" btw so yeah, I know what I speak of. A lot of "Latin" love salsa and can't dance it. Probably most can't dance it actually. In most places whenever they put salsa on only a few dance compared to bachata and merengue. So shut it.
This is why I stoped salsa and bachata, and just stand on the side. I just don’t get this🤷🏽♂️. Not even after five years of trrying.
You don’t have to get it, just enjoy it and let it flow through you
@@joestardolphinThats what I thought. But I got criticized a lot in socials. At salsa class I realized how complicated it is.
I completely understand bro. The first 5yrs of my dance journey I battled a lot with timing. And being Colombian, people assume that I should know and therefore made more fun of me. However, today teaching Salsa is my full time job. So don’t quit. Give it time. Take breaks if needed but always come back.
