As for bembe meta and bembe agwe, they are different rhythms as well, one is male (meta) and the other is female (agwe).<br /><br />The rhythm called guiro typically has 3 shekeres and one tumbadora, the way I've been taught. The bembe and bakoso rhythms used 3 drums.<br /><br />In my experience, the terms bembe, guiro and sometimes toque are used loosely and interchangeably, and it's good not to get too hung up on them.Rumba Instrumentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02931147982666537077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8258429371043827973.post-29352143410801084302013-03-12T21:17:09.867-07:002013-03-12T21:17:09.867-07:00I heard somewhere that bakoso refers to playing be...I heard somewhere that bakoso refers to playing bembe with hands...a kind of adaptation to playing bembe on tumbadoras. And that bembe agwe refers to how the tumbadora is played with a set of guiro.

It's mentioned in the El Lenguaje del Tambor DVD, Daniel Alfonso sais "the first drum I learned to play was the bakoso, a fat little pegged drum", but I wasn't able to find any info about it...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
