This group class will focus on some of the foundational rhythms and grooves of Afro-Cuban music and the percussion instruments that are used to play them. Mambo and Cha Cha styles as well as 6/8 time signature will be covered, in addition to the techniques required to obtain the proper tone and feel of this musical genre. Instruments include: congas, bongos, timbales, bells, guiro, chekere, etc. Along with you, we will create song forms and focus on improvisation, ensemble playing and the importance of listening in a group environment.

There is no experience required, and instruments will be provided. We will present a concert on Thursday, October 24 at Crescendo Music Loft to give all members an opportunity to perform in a live setting.
