Cuban Songs

The classes for Afro-Cuban percussion and song complement each other, as they bring different rhythms and songs from Afro-Cuban culture to the fore.
Students will learn pieces, coordination with percussion, voice projection techniques and the exploration of harmonies.
The end goal is to be able to play an instrument and sing at the same time.
