Claves are very important in Afro-Cuban music, such as the son and guaguancó. They are often used to play a repeating rhythmic figure throughout a piece, known as clave, a key pattern (or guide-pattern, timeline patter, phrasing referent, bell pattern) that is also found in African music and Brazilian music. One of the better known recordings featuring claves is the Beatles' recording "And I Love Her."
Steve Reich's Music for Pieces of Wood is written for five pairs of claves.
