Morales-Afro-Peruvian Percussion Ensemble (Book/DVD)

The Afro-Peruvian Percussion Ensemble by Hector Morales is one of the most comprehensive book/DVD packages ever published on Afro-Peruvian percussion. 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. 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.
