Salsa - The Rhythm of Latin Music Book/CD: each
Composer: Gerard

This concise, yet thorough, book provides an historical and overall analytical approach to Afro-Cuban music. TIt de-mystifies this fascinating music of Salsa by covering such topics as how to ""hear"" the clave pattern, the differences between the many genres of Cuban music (danzon, rhumba, songo, rhythms from the Santeria religion), instrumental roles (tumbao, montuno), lyrics, and arranging techniques. The book is filled with musical examples that illustrate important points or concepts. A glossary, discography, lead sheets of important tunes, and a CD recording of musical examples is included. Anyone who has questions about Afro-Cuban music should read this book. The knowledge contained within will enable the reader to more completely comprehend the rhythmic and melodic complexities of Afro-Cuban music as well as identify the different genres "by ear.""
