The Bongo Book
Book and CD Package
(Mel Bay MB96005BCD),
Description:
This is the only instructional book (CD included) devoted entirely to the bongo. Highly recommended. Book contents include an explanation of the clave, strokes, rhythms, fills, exercises, ornamentations, and maintenance of your instrument. Included are interviews with four great bongoceros, Jack Costanzo, Armando Peraza, José Mangual and Candido Camero. The CD contents include the son clave, rumba clave, cascara, 6/8 bell, martillo variations, manoteo variations, jazz and rock rhythms, plus 15 other rhythms. Very Comprehensive!
Reviews:
"This book is extremely valuable not just for budding bongoceros (or those who grew up doing it wrong) but also for its explanation and charting of the difference between Cubans' view of metre and everyone else's. If you ever wondered why what you thought was 3-2 clave was now 2-3, or vice-versa, here's your answer (you klutz!). Bravo, too, to the author for emphasizing 4/4. All musicians and composers should have this." (Phil Riggio 98/99 Catalog)
