Book/CD (CD containing 91 music examples illustrating all the scores and reductions presented in the book). This book helps to overcome the various obstacles and difficulties drummers and multipercussionists from the four corners of the earth have had to face in view of their lack of knowledge about Cuban rhythms: Step by step, it offers - in a very skilful and up-to-date manner - a compilation of polyrhythmic transcriptions of pieces performed by most of the existing Cuban music ensembles featuring a percussion section. In doing so, it gives a novel and extraordinary kind of survey of our Cuban culture, a survey that could be compared to a "Concise Atlas of Cuban Rhythms".
