Hello IlPersiano!

Sounds good to me. Sweet littel charango there! The rhythm to me is 3 x 5/8 measuers and 1 x 6/8 measure at the end of the theme. Has a nice relaxed mediteranean flair.

Thank you dear!
In fact the whole piece is subdivided like that. It is called composed measure or in Western terms additive rhythm. 5+5+5+6 makes 21. Then in the solos it goes in 7/8. Otherwise it is 21 beats.
Does it make sense?
