The Afro-Latin
Ensemble Workbook
by Robert Fernandez
This is the book Fernandez uses in
his Latin percussion courses at
California State University, Los Angeles. It is simply the single most
comprehensive and
accurate
source on Afro-Latin percussion, covering the folkloric and popular
traditions
of Cuba, Brazil, Haiti, Puerto Rico, The Dominican Republic, Colombia,
Uruguay, Peru, and Jamaica. Not a musicalogical treatise, this is a
practical
resource for players.

Pedro Jesus Orta
omo aña
In 1998 the great late bata master
Pedro Jesus Orta gave one of the
very rare public performances of some the sacred music of Santeria -
portions of the Oro Seco, and songs for Yemaya - on the FaultLines
concert series in Los
Angeles. We got a very good recording of the event, and though the CD
is on the short side,
the music and playing are truly beautiful.
