Description

Pop music does not define a fixed musical style. It is a musical genre with many influences. It can be inspired by all existing musical styles: African music, Brazilian music but why not Indian music etc. Without being a specialist in all these musics, the percussionist playing a repertoire of Pop music must have notions of Jazz, R&B, Funk, Rock and World Music as broad as possible. He may need to imitate this music. This constitutes a know-how in its own right. The conga player must have many qualities in addition to adaptability. He must be versatile and multi-percussionist with the practice of as many instruments as possible. It must be open to world music because today, music mixes and merges more and more. In conclusion, this book offers a number of patterns in various styles noted over time. It is up to you to adapt them to your taste, your needs and your style.

Author Biography:

THE AUTOR: I started studying Congolese and Afro-Brazilian percussion in the 1980s. In 1992, I studied Afro Cuban percussion with my teacher Orlando Poleo. I've been playing and teaching ever since. I have played with a lot of salsa, jazz, pop, zouk, Congolese rumba, funk groups in Paris and in France. I played with Giovanni Hidalgo, Orlando Poleo, Iluyenkori and many others ... I have been teaching percussion in many Parisian schools since the 90s. I have written several educational books for congas and Latin percussion. I worked for several French magazines and magazines ("Batteur Magazine", PSF ...) I have been a Latin Percussion (LP) endorser and demonstrator several years.
