Yesterday, while dancing in our Sunday's social, I have noticed an interesting phenomenon in this song by Marc Anthony: It had two guaguancó patterns interleaved: The bass plays the puertorican style guaguacó, the one which is on the 3-side on the clave, while the congas play the cuban style guaguancó, on the 2-side of the clave.
It makes some sort of call-and-response pattern between the bass and the conga guaguancó, creating a nice effect. Are there any other Salsa songs with the phenomenon? Is this a common thing or something invented by Marc Anthony ?
