It is said that if music causes a physical response, from tapping your foot, dancing, or in my case playing dashboard timbales and cowbells, the 2-measure/5-beat pattern “clave” was invented centuries ago in Nigeria by the Yoruba people. That pattern literally is the foundation of a mathematical system, which indicates there were mathematicians in such a place so remote from where the empirical systems of music were being established. Plenty to explore in this sampler.
