Catalog Number: ADG025 Author: Carlos Campos Publisher: ADG Productions Salsa, Further Adventures In Afro Cuban Music For Piano is the follow up 150 page book to Carlos Campos’s previous work, the highly successful 'Salsa And Afro Cuban Montunos For Piano. This book was inspired by the questions asked from many of his students attending his salsa piano class at the Berklee School Of Music and also in his private teaching practice in Los Angeles. During his classes, every problem that arose, presented Carlos with the opportunity to develop new exercises geared towards solving those problems. One of the most recurring challenges for the salsa piano student is to learn to feel this type of music and to be able to develop the very strong sense of inner pulse needed to be able to experience flow while playing the montunos. Rhythmic exercises at the beginning of this book help to develop this inner pulse. Numerous students have asked Carlos to write full arrangements of Salsa songs with all the parts transcribed.
In the book there are 4 fully transcribed pieces, the accompanying CD, or MIDI disk’s enable the student or musician to hear the full band arrangement as well as playing along with the full band, with the use of different mixes, giving the student or musician an excellent way of seeing and hearing how everything is put together. Many students have also asked for transcriptions of different percussion patterns to show how they all work together to create that ultra tight salsa ensemble sound. There is a section in the book covering many of the commonly used percussion patterns and along with the accompanying audio tracks will help most students understand how this specific style works. The many montuno patterns in the first part of the book are written in both 2/3 and 3/2 clave with almost every example written in montuno style (for ensemble playing) and in montuno/tumbao style (for solo playing).

There is both written music and tablature These Salsa patterns can be used for Jazz, Latin Jazz and Flamenco musical styles. Salsa has become quite a dance craze. Its popularity has grown from the Cuban and Puerto Rican community to include most of the Americas, Europe, and even Japan. New Salsa bands are forming everywhere from New York to Los Angeles, from Tokyo to Paris.
But despite its increasing popularity, many musicians find that Salsa and the other genres of Afro Cuban Music are still very difficult to feel and play in an authentic relaxed way. This type of music with its unique concept of the Clave presents quite a challenge for the aspiring young performer. In the past, the only way to learn how to play Salsa was to live in an area where Salsa was already very popular so that one might connect with as many authentic musicians as possible; learning one pattern here, another there, via a very slow learning process that could take years if not decades to accomplish.
Even though the process of immersing oneself fully and experientially in the music style of our choosing is absolutely necessary for our musical growth, the need for concise, well written, and organized materials, written by someone who knows and lives this type of music is also essential. We at ADG, believe that Mr. Campos' books are doing exactly that. We believe that he has done a great service by writing his first two books titled 'Salsa: Afro-Cuban Montunos for Piano' and 'Salsa: Further Adventures in Afro-Cuban Music', and now with his latest book 'Salsa: Afro-Cuban Montunos for Guitar'. Campos is helping to expand the area of Salsa studies to include all guitar players and students.
