Cinquillo

The cinquillo is a syncopated rhythm found in a number of Afro-Latin musical styles. It is present in the Cuban habanera and danzón, and in the Argentine tango. It is, with polyrhythms, a characteristic African influence on Latin music.Orovio, Helio. 1981. Diccionario de la Música Cubana, p.237.
