This course examines the infusion of traditional AfroLatin and especially AfroCuban concepts into contemporary Western music. Upon completion of this book you will have mastered many new skills that will help you become a more accomplished percussionist and, more importantly, a more complete musician. By exploring the role of percussion in traditional AfroCuban music, you will understand the important contribution drums make towards a complete musical piece, and that a drum is not merely a rhythmic placeholder but truly a musical instrument worthy of recognition. While this book focuses primarily on hand percussion, its basic principals are also applied to the drum kit. There is no standard notation in this book; rather, the rhythms are illustrated with easily understood charts based on counting out subdivided beats. Two companion CDs offer audio examples of all major points.

I was really looking forward to this book, but it felt more like a collection of essays than a cohesive guide. Some parts were fascinating, but there were also sections that dragged on. I expected more practical applications. Probably wouldn’t recommend it for casual readers.

Interesting but Not What I Expected
I picked this up hoping for a more practical guide, but it leans heavily into academic analysis. The content is rich, but it took a while to get through. Still, the discussions about tradition and modernity in music are pretty compelling. Just be ready for a bit of a read!

Fascinating Insights on Afro-Cuban Music
This book dives deep into the roots of Afro-Cuban concepts and how they shape contemporary music. The blend of culture and theory is spot on! I’ve enjoyed reading it while exploring new jazz pieces that incorporate these influences. It’s a must-read for anyone passionate about music history.
