101 Montunos (Piano Solo)
Product description
Rebeca Mauleón-Santana, author of the critically-acclaimed "Salsa Guidebook for Piano and Ensemble" and co-editor of "The Latin Real Book", creates the ultimate resource for the aspiring as well as the seasoned Afro-Caribbean pianist with her newest book, "101 Montunos". Tracing over one hundred years of development, Mauleón explores the range and variety of the piano's role in popular Afro-Caribbean music, from its early beginnings to the latest in contemporary styles. The author takes you on a journey through dozens of styles which form the basis of modern-day Salsa and Latin Jazz, from the Cuban danzón and songo to the Puerto Rican bomba and Dominican merengue. With a bi-lingual (English/Spanish) text, this guide gives detailed examples of the most popular rhythms in Afro-Caribbean music, and includes online audio recorded performances by the author herself. The reader is introduced to the intricate and syncopated world of Latin piano-playing, featuring well over one hundred montuno patterns and variations (most including bass lines) as well as several solo fragments by some of the most renowned pianists in the field. This book is a must for any pianist or keyboardist wishing to explore the detailed history and technique of this marvelous art form.

I wrote to Bigamart's customer support and they accompanied the process of reshipping the item until it finally arrived. I felt a genuine effort to solve the problem till it was finally solved.
The package was here in Australia from England in a few days — so quick! Something was missing and they refunded it straight away. Pretty happy with these guys.
