It contains music charts with the specific rhythms played by the cajon, congas, cowbell, bongos, cajita and quijada – as well as bass and guitar parts – for major styles of Afro-Peruvian and Creole music. The various rhythms are also shown being adapted to the drum set, with and without other percussion instruments playing. Useful for musicians of all levels, from beginner to advanced.
