AFRO-CUBAN TECHNIQUES FOR DRUM SET & PERCUSSION

Fidel Morales, Cuban master drummer & percussionist, has published his first book for all those interested in Afro-Cuban Rythms. In “Afro-Cuban Techniques for Drum Set and Percussion”, Fidel explains fundamentals such as clave, patterns, interdependence, “3 against 2″, and ostinatos, among other techniques. These will allow Afro-Cuban drum set students, percussionists, and all musicians who study this book to progressively internalize the concept of this music and incorporate it to their performances. Above all, they will be technically prepared to approach this style without limitations. [English-Spanish Edition / Edición en inglés y español]

SALSA SON TIMBA, FIDEL MORALES & PROYECTO NEGA

“Salsa Son Timba is the result of gathering some of the finest musicians and singers in Cuba to realize his musical vision. Originally produced in 2005, Morales has rereleased it in 2010… Salsa Son Timba is exactly what the title describes: a blend of the three genres associated with Afro-Cuban music. With an insider’s knowledge and access, the experienced musicians were all handpicked by Morales, as were the singers he wanted on the individual tracks.” James Nadal, All About Jazz

“Besides being a master drummer and percussionist, Fidel is a creative arranger and composer. Fidel wrote or co-wrote five of the eight songs on this album, each one with inventive arrangements, mixing the old and new school styles of Cuban music… Good cuban music played the way is supposed to be played; that is what Salsa Son Timba is all about.” Wilbert Sostre, Jazz Times
