The bongo book, by Trevor Salloum - Book + cd
Language : English

This cd/book set is devoted to a major, though often neglected Latin instrument, the bongo drums.
Trevor Salloum guides the learner, whether he be a beginner or an expert through an informative, educational musical journey. Along with a 30-track CD, the text tackles all bongo-fundamentals: basic rhythms such as clave, cascar as well as performance techniques.
Maintenance, characteristic rhythmic patterns, and important artists in the evolution of bongo technique are also covered in depth.

The most important advantage of this work might be the interviews with such cult bongo players as Jack Costanzo, Armando Peraza, Candido Camero and José Mangual.
