Afro-Peruvian Percussion Ensemble

This is the most comprehensive book/DVD package on Afro-Peruvian percussion ever published. The book contains music charts with the specific rhythms played by the cajon, congas, cowbell, bongos, cajita and quijada as well as bass and guitar parts for all the styles of Peruvian music. Then the various rhythms are shown being adapted to the drum set, with or without other percussion instruments playing. The enclosed 85 min. DVD contains beautifully-filmed instruction on each percussion instrument and the drum set too. In addition, the main styles are played by a great Afro-Peruvian rhythm section, featuring Hector Morales, Oscar Stagnaro, etc. Valuable history of the development of Afro-Peruvian music is also given, including numerous photos.
