Afro-Cuban Rhythms

Trevor Salloum: Afro-Cuban Rhythms combines two of the renowned author's popular previous editions. This Gig Savers book has been specially designed for the intermediate to advanced level percussionist who has some basic understanding of percussion notation. Part one is a collection of traditional rhythms ideal for a percussion ensemble or for the individual who wants to learn the authentic parts of each rhythm. The material is presented in a concise and user-friendly style. This section includes information on Clave, Tumbao for one and two drums, Rumba columbia, Conga (Havana), Conga (Matanzas), Conga (Santiago) and much more. Part two is structured just like part one, but covers a different set of rhythms: Bembe, Makuta, Yuka, Palo, Arar , Abaku (Havana), Abaku (Matanzas), Gag and Iyesa. All rhythms presented in this edition are easily adapted to conga drums and Afro-Cuban hand percussion.
