Various Artists ~ Fun with the Cuban Tres ~ Music Book & CD

The Cuban Tres often plays the role of the piano in travelling Latin combos, and is able to crank out a loud, powerful tumbao. It has also come to the attention of Flamenco aficionados through the recordings of Son de la Frontera, where the instrument lends a fresh voice to the falsetas of Diego del Gastor. This method provides tunings, chords, scales, tumbao patterns, exercises, and simple performance pieces for the instrument, all performed on the accompanying CD.
