Afro Cuban Rumba
One of the most popular styles of music in the world.
However, overtime, there has been a lot of confusion surrounding the concept of Afro Cuban Rumba. This workshop will help better define the true essence of this particular style of music.
Conga will be the instrument of focus, although timbales, bongos and other smaller, yet significant, instruments will also be considered. We will concentrate primarily on the basic patterns of a series of different Rumba rhythms that include Yambu, Guaguanco and Columbia as well as a few styles of popular Cuban music such as Son, Bolero and Guaracha.
In addition we will take a general look into the Yoruba culture and how its rhythms are performed with the bata drum as well as instruction on proper tuning. Guest appearances by members of Rumba Iyabo percussion Ensemble.
