At weekends they are generally packed with Cubans escaping the city. There are a few tourist hotels lining the coast, but other than that there are limited facilities. If needing an escape from the city the beaches make a good day trip, however those expecting pristine tropical island beaches might be disappointed. Part 5 popular Music Salsa instrumentation is similar to the other types of Cuban music. There is a strong percussion section consisting of congas, Batá drums, timbales, and claves. Brass, lead guitar, and bass are also popular additions. The claves beat out a regular rhythm of either three-two (see Figure 13) or two-three (see Figure 14). //Figure 13.// //Figure 14.// --My Sources used to develope this page. []
