Cinquillo

Explanation:

Cinquillo is a musical style characterized as a rhythmic cell common throughout the Caribbean, but originating in Cuba, in addition to being very common throughout Sub-Saharan Africa.

Basically, the cinquillo is formed by the order: an eighth, a sixteenth, an eighth, a sixteenth, and an eighth note.

In some situations, Cinquillo is mixed with Argentine tango creating a broader and more engaging musicality. It can also be mixed with mambo.
