==== Ozmosis is a West Australian quartet of intrepid border-crossers. The group draws upon their vast experience of Hispanic, Latin American and Balkan music to create vibrant performance using original compositions. The Hispanic and Balkan threads in the music reflect the personalities, histories and interests of the players. Drawing upon their experiences, the group creates a wild and wonderful intercontinental journey, extending beyond tradition and geographic boundaries.====

Clave rhythm -
There are two rhythm patterns used in this song that are called 'clave patterns'.

One is **3:2** and the other is **2:3** (the numbers mean how many notes in each bar or measure).

The squiggles are one beat rests (silences), the plain notes (taas) are one beat long and the notes (taas) with dots next to them are a bit longer (1 and a half beats long).
