This goes from G to F. Try figure out the bass lick. It\u2019s like <em>Carretero<\/em> in that it the chords switch on the 1 and 4+. The bass and <em>guiro<\/em> start, then you hear the <em>2-3 son clave<\/em>, then trumpet! You can basically play the piano <em>montuno<\/em>. It comes in later (4:00). Learn the bass part, then listen again play the piano <em>montuno<\/em> back over the song. The bass notes go G-B-G-F-C-A-F. Tap the <em>clave<\/em>. Try to play all the percussion parts.

It’s a biased version based on my favorite musicians that I know about in those styles (at least that I’ve discovered).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>If you feel that I’ve missed anything or I have represented something correctly, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.guitarkitchen.com\/help\/contact\/\">please contact me<\/a>!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Origins of Salsa Music<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Stylistically, there’s a few different types of <strong>salsa<\/strong>. And remember “<strong>salsa<\/strong>” means different things to different people. Basically, my understanding is that <strong>salsa<\/strong> mostly originated in <strong>Cuba<\/strong>, <strong>Puerto Rico<\/strong> and <strong>New York<\/strong>. A lot of the musicians (i.e. <strong>Fania All-Stars<\/strong>) that made salsa popular in the 70s were located in New York. They were mostly from <strong>Puerto Rico<\/strong> and <strong>Cuba<\/strong>, though musicians came from many places (i.e. <strong>Johnny Pacheco<\/strong> and <strong>Larry Harlow<\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Current <strong>New York<\/strong> and <strong>Puerto Rican<\/strong> salsa (in my opinion) comes mostly from <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fania_Records\" target=\"_blank\">Fania<\/a> in the 70s. Current <strong>Cuban<\/strong> “salsa” (really <em>timba<\/em>) comes from musical groups like <strong>Irakere<\/strong> and <strong>Los Van Van<\/strong>. <strong>Irakere<\/strong> was more <em>latin jazz<\/em> (and <em>songo<\/em>), but (I feel like) in the 70s, <strong>Cuban<\/strong> music was more inspired by jazz harmonies. <em>Timba<\/em> maybe didn’t come directly from <em>latin jazz<\/em>, but it usually incorporates a lot more jazz-like elements, especially compared to 70-80s <em>New York-style salsa<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Buena Vista Social Club<\/strong> is a good example of some of the old-school <strong>Cuban<\/strong> styles of music that people usually associate with salsa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Check out Afro-latin (Afro-Cuban and Afro-Puerto-Rican) musical styles to understand the deeper roots of salsa, son and mambo.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mambo<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Mambo<\/strong> was a dance craze that hit New York in the 40s and 50s. A lot of famous musicians came from Cuba (like <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Chano_Pozo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chano Pozo<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mongo_Santamar%C3%ADa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mongo Santamaria)<\/a> to play in New York. Many <strong>bebop<\/strong> musicians (Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie) incorporated Cuban and other Caribbean rhythms into their bebop compositions. This, in my opinion, reflected upon the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mambo_(music)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">greater mambo popularity<\/a> that occurred at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of all the musical styles, to me, mambo is the main immediate precursor to salsa, if not really the first chapter of salsa music. It uses a lot of the same instrumentation, rhythms, and dance steps. If you go to dance salsa, the band or DJ may play some old-school mambo, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/youtube.com\/watch?v=w0H5RmpAezA\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Afro-Latin Music Styles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many styles of music with more “obvious” African roots have been played in Puerto Rico (<em>bomba<\/em> and <em>plena<\/em>) and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Music_of_Cuba\" target=\"_blank\">Cuba<\/a> (like <em>rumba<\/em>) for a long time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, there’s tons of other places where more traditional African musical styles have lived for many years as well, but these traditions of these Puerto Rico and Cuba seem to be considered the main birthplaces of salsa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The more traditional Afro-Latin styles usually seem to be in “6\/8” or 12\/8 (a beat with a more rolling feel).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope to write more about this soon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper fourthree\" title=\"Bomba Puertorriqueña\" style=\"width:420px;max-width:100%;margin:5px auto;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_ZummXOaoXuo\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/www.guitarkitchen.com\/thoughts\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FZummXOaoXuo%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZummXOaoXuo\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT11M45S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2013-09-15T01:42:44Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_ZummXOaoXuo\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.guitarkitchen.com\/thoughts\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FZummXOaoXuo%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">Bomba Puertorrique\u00f1a<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/ZummXOaoXuo\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.guitarkitchen.com\/thoughts\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FZummXOaoXuo%2F0.jpg\" alt=\"Bomba Puertorriqueña\" width=\"420\" height=\"295\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Delegaci\u00f3n de Loiza en el 5to encuentro del tambor en Juncos.

But instead of going into a “salsa-rock” drum thing, he goes into a “samba-rock” drum thing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I bring it up because it’s a classic example of a rock band adding some <strong>Afro-Latin<\/strong> stylings to their music. But a lot people sometimes may say “<strong>salsa<\/strong>” and in fact be thinking “<strong>samba<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper fourthree\" title=\"Fool in the Rain (Remaster)\" style=\"width:420px;max-width:100%;margin:5px auto;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_I57nIP0vc44\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/www.guitarkitchen.com\/thoughts\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FI57nIP0vc44%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/I57nIP0vc44\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT6M11S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2015-08-01T12:41:25Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_I57nIP0vc44\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.guitarkitchen.com\/thoughts\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FI57nIP0vc44%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">Fool in the Rain (Remaster)<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/I57nIP0vc44\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.guitarkitchen.com\/thoughts\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FI57nIP0vc44%2F0.jpg\" alt=\"Fool in the Rain (Remaster)\" width=\"420\" height=\"295\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Provided to YouTube by Atlantic Records Fool in the Rain (Remaster) \u00b7 Led Zeppelin In Through the out Door \u2117 1979 Atlantic Recording Corporation Guitar: Jimmy Page Producer: Jimmy Page Drums: John Bonham Remastering Engineer: John Davis Bass Guitar: John Paul Jones Piano: John Paul Jones Engineer: Leif Mases Vocals: Robert Plant Writer: John Paul Jones Writer: Jimmy Page Writer: Robert Plant Auto-generated by YouTube.\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:420px;margin:5px auto;\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper fourthree\" title=\"John Bonham - Led Zeppelin - Fool In The Rain - Isolated Drum Track AWESOME\" style=\"width:420px;max-width:100%;margin:5px auto;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_lWnhz1ZcF74\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/www.guitarkitchen.com\/thoughts\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FlWnhz1ZcF74%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lWnhz1ZcF74\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT4M48S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2017-07-18T13:09:24Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_lWnhz1ZcF74\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.guitarkitchen.com\/thoughts\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FlWnhz1ZcF74%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">John Bonham - Led Zeppelin - Fool In The Rain - Isolated Drum Track AWESOME<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/lWnhz1ZcF74\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.guitarkitchen.com\/thoughts\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FlWnhz1ZcF74%2F0.jpg\" alt=\"John Bonham - Led Zeppelin - Fool In The Rain - Isolated Drum Track AWESOME\" width=\"420\" height=\"295\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"PAISTE 2002 John Bonham Cymbal set https:\/\/amzn.to\/2Lzm3ib ========================== Drum Techniques of Led Zeppelin: Note for Note Transcriptions of 23 Classic John Bonham Drum Tracks https:\/\/amzn.to\/2HhpxQK ========================== Get the latest book LED ZEPPELIN BY LED ZEPPELIN on Amazon cheap!! https:\/\/amzn.to\/2LWdcUf ========================== Ultimate Drum Play-Along Led Zeppelin, Vol 1: Play Along with 8 Great-Sounding Tracks (Authentic Drum), Book & 2 CDs (Ultimate Play-Along) https:\/\/amzn.to\/2JCnFVT DISCLAIMER: This video description contains affiliate links, which means that if you click on one of the product links, I\u2019ll receive a very small commission.
