There are 2 different rhythmns: 3 for 4 and 4 for 4.  This kind of synchopation is very present in Cuban music - what gives the original flavor is the other part, which is put to jazz.  This song has to do with strong Latin-American cadences, but above all, the influence is Cuban.  The contemporary jazz harmony is the added ingrediant giving life to Two Ways.  The introduction is an hommage to Eleggua - the Orisha in the Yoruba religion that opens and closes all ceremonies - hence Felipe Cabrera 's demo.

2 - Llegada a New York

The melody line is that of a jazz standard, with a Latin accent.  It's the Cuban musician's vision of how jazz could be played. This fusion clearly states its swing.

3 - Bajeando el Guiro

Bajeando el Güiro takes several rhythmns from the bata and harmonizes everything with 6 basses.  Three basses are harmonizing with the rhythmn of the bata, 2 basses are playing a chant very well known in the Yoruba religion - in hommage to Chango; the other bass is plays a solo in a jazz style - all put together by a fusion of Afro-Cuban percussions (drums, 3 güiros, 1 conga, 1 campana).

4 - Asi es la Habana
