“The Percussion Books” series is the result of 25 years in researching, studying and dedication to the music, to the percussion, to the rhythms and to their instruments. The proposal is to create a reference material to satisfy from the amateur enthusiast to the professional musicians and educators. In the face of so many varieties, the techniques, rhythmic variations and historical information here presented are only one side of the amazing percussion universe.

The third volume from “The Percussion Books” collection addresses the fundamental concepts to play Caribbean music. Starting with a fully detailed explanation about the Clave concept, it builds a solid base to explore in deepness the main techniques of latin instruments, such as bongos, congas, timbales and others. The most popular Salsa rhythms are also exploited, like: Danzon, Mambo, Son-Montuno, Cha-cha and Bolero.
