CUBAN TUMBAOS VOL. 1 & 2 – DVD/BOOKLET SET

by Dave Tuckman –

CUBAN TUMBAOS VOL. 1 & 2 – DVD/BOOKLET SET are produced by RGB Arte Visual, and made available (distributed) in the US by Mel Bay. They got added to the mix of titles here earlier this month. Each one is a DVD/booklet package, introducing and including the largest collection of Bass Cuban Tumbaos, and ways of performing the Cuban music and Latin Jazz in different beats and accentuations.

Volume 1 covers  Bolero, Son, Danzon, Mamabo, Cha Cha Cha, and Latin Bass Improvisation (Bass Latin) styles. Volume 2 picks up where Volume 1 ends and covers the Mozambique, Pilon, Punto Cubano and Timba styles.

For a better study and understanding, (on both titles) all scores are included and also a theme example of each styles. In addition there are several audio options that will allow you to practice the bass and all accompaniment instruments as well. All scores are included and also a theme example of each styles.

The production quality is excellent, and as someone new to the genre, I’m not all the way through both volumes yet, but have already learned quite a bit.
