With this in mind, we highlight possibilities for computational analysis of rhythm in bambucos.</description><identifier>https://zenodo.org/record/4245454</identifier><identifier>10.5281/zenodo.4245454</identifier><identifier>oai:zenodo.org:4245454</identifier><publisher>ISMIR</publisher><relation>doi:10.5281/zenodo.4245453</relation><relation>url:https://zenodo.org/communities/ismir</relation><rights>info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess</rights><rights>https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode</rights><title>Sesquialtera in the Colombian bambuco: Perception and estimation of beat and meter</title><type>Journal:Proceeding</type><type>Journal:Proceeding</type><recordID>4245454</recordID></dc>
