[JPL] "Bo Diddley" beat is just clave

[Arturo]

I was amused about most mainstream media referring to Bo Diddley's "beat" as
if it never existed before him. The beat he used is nothing but the old
"shave and a haircut-2 bits" pattern which is clave, the heartbeat of
Afro-Cuban music, 3-2. That's why Bo also used maracas, a Caribbean
creation. Bo was playing Latin Rock a decade before Santana.
