Summary of This Book
With 101 Montunos, Rebeca Mauleón-Santana (author of the Salsa Guidebook for Piano and Ensemble and co-editor of The Latin Real Book ) offers a reference resource for pianists or keyboardists wishing to delve deeply into the art of the montuno. The book traces over a century of evolution and highlights the role of the piano in popular Afro-Caribbean music, explaining how accompaniment became a rhythmic driver, a harmonic landmark, and a true ensemble language.
The content takes you on a journey through numerous styles that have nourished today's Salsa and Latin Jazz, including major traditions and genres such as danzon, songo, bomba, and merengue. Each section is based on detailed examples of the most commonly used rhythms to develop a practical understanding of syncopation, articulation, placement, and accompaniment cycles. The book provides over one hundred montuno patterns and their variations, most accompanied by bass lines, as well as several solo fragments inspired by iconic pianists. Thanks to the English/Spanish text and the two CDs recorded by the author, you work on both reading and listening skills to achieve a more authentic, danceable, and immediately applicable group playing.
