  We used to do one called "Congo". I don't know if it's the same thing you're looking for, but I'll ask Eric.
  Just yesterday we learned and got the sheet music to two really amazing Araras.. One was Afrakete, and the other Awueji.

    Zun, looks like we may have a few possibilities.
    I don't really want to translate it into block form, so hopefully you can read our writing. We make notes below the staff represent the right hand, and notes above are left hand. Open notes are tones. Filled notes are basses. Xs are slaps, Ts are touches, open notes crossed through are muffled tones.

    AS you can see it's in our pdf file. I'm thinking the one you're after is on page. 15.
    Let me know if that works!

      Thanks Dave ! Congolaye is a binary rythm of the haïtian influence of Cuba...
