La Percusión en el Flamenco, by Nan Mercader

Book/CD pack
Language: Spanish

Altough it was written in Spanish, there is little text, and the meaning is conveyed more through the pictures and notation.

For the first time, all of the flamenco palos (forms) are analysed from a strictly rhythmic and musical perspective. It is the first complete method that includes cajón (box-drum) and tinaja. It also includes several ideas for congas, bongos, bata drums and drum-set. All of the basic forms of hand clapping for bulerías, tangos, soleás, rumbas tanguillos, fandangos, guajiras, etc., are covered. It is not absolutely necessary to read music to follow and benefit from it, as all the exercises and rhythms are on the CD. We recommend!!
