More Information Come meet the Cuban Tres and get a taste of the minor percussion instruments associated with Afro-Cuban rhythms. The Cuban Tres is a guitar-like instrument with three double strings (six in all). It plays a key role in the Cuban ”son,” the heartbeat of salsa. The minor percussion instruments include the maracas, guiro (gourd scraper) and clave sticks. Learn how these instruments weave together to create the rich polyrhythms of Afro-Cuban music. There will be an explanation and hands-on demonstration of the Cuban Tres, as well as a demonstration of the techniques used in playing clave rhythms, maracas and guiro. Time permitting: a descarga or jam session, with all of the instruments. This workshop is open to all musicians. 2 – 4 pm Tito Rodriquez $30 Jazzschool students/$45 others
