Thanks for pointing that out!
Let me add that even though Bossa Nova (that nice and slow rhythm from Brazil) might have a similar vibe to what you mention on “Placita de mi infancia”, on that tune we are actually playing a feel based on the Argentinian “Zamba” -which is very different than the Brazilian Samba that starts with “S”. The Zamba is in 6/8 and most of the times it is played accenting the 2nd and specially the 3rd quarter note -some people feel it in a slow 3/4.

Even though the Venezuelan Joropo is a fast and energetic 6/8 groove, on “El Viaje” we are instead feeling it more like a Chacarera, which is a rhythm from Argentina that is usually faster than the Zamba, but somehow shares a similar approach to dividing and accenting the rhythms in the 2nd and the 3rd quarter note specially. Chararera is mostly played with a laid back feel, even though it is faster than the Zamba, in opposition to the Venezuelan Joropo which has more of like an ‘on top of the beat’ feel.

I invite you all to comment and share your thoughts!

Thanks again for the review!
