Infinite Polyrhythms

It takes 8 minutes for 4 similar Dabke grooves to complete the cycle and realign when played at adjacent tempos, one bpm apart. While phasing, every moment brings a unique rhythmic/melodic combination.
This is Dabke Phase at 130, 131, 132 & 133 BPM (based on the melody of Al Ein Mulayetin عالعين موليتين)
