Ritmos Afro Puertorriqueños / Afro Puerto Rican Rhythms - Paperback
Description
by Dimas Sanchez (Author), Jesús Cepeda (Author)
The purpose of this book is to document those Afro-Puerto Rican rhythms that were long relegated to a second or third level in the cultural environment of Puerto Rico. Apart from documenting the rhythms (about 19), we provide a historical background of the practice, including information on practitioners of this genre and the places where they were practiced. In addition, we include a section of how some of the rhythms of Bomba and Plena can be used in other genres such as jazz, funk, rock and other Afro-descendant genres with the drum set. This book is accompanied by a series of educational materials that reinforce its content. We added to this work videos, audios and writings that indicate how to play the different rhythms we discuss here and historical aspects of both Bomba and Plena, and the historical circumstances that shaped them. ------- El propósito de este libro es documentar aquellos ritmos afropuertorriqueños que por mucho tiempo estuvieron relegados a un segundo o tercer nivel en el ambiente cultural de Puerto Rico.
