The signature sound of Cuban music is popular throughout the world. At the heart of it is the clave - the underlying groove that defines the music of Cuba. The clave is not always easy to learn, but author Jeff Peretz breaks down this fundamental rhythm in Guitar Atlas: Cuba proving that the clave can be played by any guitarist. This book also explores the African & European cultural influences that shaped modern Cuban music, as well as the impact of the political events of the 20th century.
