Book and CD Package
(Cherry Lane Music 02500278),
Released 2002;
Editor's Pick:
This nice text opens with one of the most comprehensive and detailed histories of the congas that we have seen. Written by renowned Cuban musical historian, Dr. Olavo Alén Rodriguez, this seven page history is worth the price alone.
The book itself, written with the help of percussionist Chuck Silverman, is a good insight to Poncho Sanchez's method of playing.
The accompanying CD has play-along tracks and is performed by Poncho and his band. These playalongs have been crafted so that you may use them as "music minus conga" tracks. (BP, 2002-06-10)
