Download or read book The Book of Rumba Strums for Spanish Classical and Flamenco Guitar written by Elysa Hochman and published by Mel Bay Publications. This book was released on 2023-05-24 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to the exciting world of rumba strums and some of the most fun you can have with the guitar! In these pages, authoritative flamenco guitarist, founder of New York Guitar Academy, Quarantined Quartet and Jay & Lee Rumba Flamenca Group, Elysa Hochman demonstrates 25 rumba strumming patterns plus two combinations, giving each a name so that they might be accurately discussed and combined to form other hybrid patterns. Having originated among African slaves in Cuba, the term rumba can represent several unrelated musical styles; by the early 20th century, however, an up-tempo version had caught-on with flamenco musicians in Spain and the cultural cross-fertilization process was complete. Like the rasgueado techniques common to flamenco, rumba strumming has remained largely a mystery to non-flamenco guitarists— until now! Using standard notation, tablature and online audio and video recordings, Hochman clearly defines each rumba strumming pattern and illustrates them in typical chord progressions and voicings used in Spanish, classical, and flamenco guitar. This book is essential for any guitarist interested in becoming proficient in rhythm guitar and/or the nuevo flamenco genre of music. The book culminates with a useful “Index of Rumba Strums” enabling you to build your own rumba strumming patterns and bring your audience to their feet!

Book excerpt: Classic and flamenco guitarists alike will benefit from these etudes as they bridge the gap between traditional mechanical studies and engaging practice and concert material. Although relatively short in duration, a few of these etudes could be combined in a medley to form an effective suite or set. In addition, fourteen of the twenty etudes are provided with chord accompaniment for harmonic analysis, improvisation, or performance with a teacher or second guitarist. The companion online audio for this book has been masterfully recorded by the author using a flamenco guitar to authentically render the typical picado, double-arpeggio, arpeggio-legato, and horquilla techniques as well as the quintuplet flamenco tremolo. Traditional classical elements like octave, interval and arpeggio studies are also thoroughly explored, with one piece in dropped-D tuning—all with a flamenco flavor. In addition to accomplishing its mission of offering a fresh regimen of appealing practice etudes, the truly unique feature of this book is that everything from basic technique to exotic harmony and modal scales has been aflamencado or “flamenco-ized”. Towards that end, a comprehensive glossary of mostly flamenco terminology is provided along with standard notation and tablature for each piece. As a bonus for those new to the flamenco genre, or for the serious aficionado or audiophile, a generous “Recommended Listening” list is included. Practice-related quotations from prominent guitarists in various styles complete this exceptional collection. Includes access to online audio.

Download or read book Sounding the Cape written by Denis Martin and published by African Minds. This book was released on 2013 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For several centuries Cape Town has accommodated a great variety of musical genres which have usually been associated with specific population groups living in and around the city. Musical styles and genres produced in Cape Town have therefore been assigned an "identity" which is first and foremost social. This volume tries to question the relationship established between musical styles and genres, and social - in this case pseudo-racial - identities. In Sounding the Cape, Denis-Constant Martin recomposes and examines through the theoretical prism of creolisation the history of music in Cape Town, deploying analytical tools borrowed from the most recent studies of identity configurations. He demonstrates that musical creation in the Mother City, and in South Africa, has always been nurtured by contacts, exchanges and innovations whatever the efforts made by racist powers to separate and divide people according to their origin. Musicians interviewed at the dawn of the 21st century confirm that mixture and blending characterise all Cape Town's musics. They also emphasise the importance of a rhythmic pattern particular to Cape Town, the ghoema beat, whose origins are obviously mixed. The study of music demonstrates that the history of Cape Town, and of South Africa as a whole, undeniably fostered creole societies. Yet, twenty years after the collapse of apartheid, these societies are still divided along lines that combine economic factors and "racial" categorisations. Martin concludes that, were music given a greater importance in educational and cultural policies, it could contribute to fighting these divisions and promote the notion of a nation that, in spite of the violence of racism and apartheid, has managed to invent a unique common culture.
