Latin grooves for one player

$0.00

These pages introduce Cuban clave and cascara patterns, Brazilian agogo bell and other rhythms, while learning to read crotchets and quavers (1/4 and 1/8 notes). They can be played by one person on a cajon, or perhaps with a low conga (LH) and bongos (RH). The left-hand plays a steady pulse, the right-hand plays rhythms that introduce the a) clave; b) cascara; and c) agogo. Sheet d) introduces a Brazilian surdo rhythm in the LH, with Cuban and Brazilian rhythms in the RH. Sheet e) introduces a Cuban bass tumbao in the LH, with Cuban and Brazilian rhythms in the RH. The final page has a few examples of Cuban piano montunos – just as much fun to learn and teach!
