MicroRhythm - What it is and Why Nerdwriter Got It All Wrong

Micro-rhythm is a term used to describe the "wonky" rhythms found in musical traditions like Samba da Roda, Morrocan Gnawa, the Viennese Waltz, as well as in neo-soul like D'Angelo and jazz musicians like Errol Garner and Malcolm Braff and Jacob Collier. I take you through some examples as well as looking a recent mention of the term in a Nerdwriter video, which managed to get most of the facts all wrong!
