I am a keyboard/piano player, and I wanted to learn basic rhythmic and chord patterns of Latin music for music therapy practice. This book was satisfactory in meeting my needs, although samples in the attached CD sound a little bit too mechanical. Overall, all the riffs presented are sometimes too simple, but I have no complaint about it. I consider these are only materials and how these sample riffs develop will depend on arrangement. So I think it is a good start to learn Latin music for piano/keyboard players.

What I like best about this book is the short phrases of Latin Piano riffs. No long drawn out pieces just lines that move in a logical progression.

Excellent book. It's truly fun and you actually learn a lot from this. This book gives you the idea about playing salsa, and other styles. You can't go wrong when "Carlos Campos" is involved. Buy his other books---you will become the salsa master after learning his books. You can't go wrong.

This book is excellent!! It is filled with 50 of the most popular "montuno" riffs. Even if you can't read music, you can play the CD and try to follow as best as you can. If you want to learn to play latin rhythms this is the one of the best introductory books you will find. Get it!!
