Erik,
I agree one could see that Klezmer Bulgar Rhythm showing up by a lot of
other names. Cool too see some others. It's a catchy one. :)

Hi Max & All,
Interesting that you learned the 3-3-2 rhythm as Klezmer.
- Klezmer rhythm (123-123-12)
So many of the people I've studied from say the 3-3-2 came from Africa. It has
invaded many other genres. When I first learned about it (other than the clave), it came
at me three times in one year:
* A bunch of fiddle bowings used in Old-Time Appalachian tunes (highly slave
influenced)
* A doumbek rhythm (an Arabic drum)
* In hamboning--body rhythm with African roots, from when slaves had their drums
taken away.
