recording location: Santiago de Cuba 2008
religious tradition: Santeria-Lucumi
book: spiral-bound of phonetically transcribed songs

The objective of this work is to present Afro-Cuban songs in their rich variety and various manifestations in the folkloric life and tradition of Cuba today. These volumes present the songs (some with multiple versions) within their proper context and with the appropriate clave, melody, and time relationships.

In order to teach the melody of the songs, the recording of the songs are first presented with the beat of the clave or the beat of the bembe cowbell (CD one). The second recordings present the songs with batá drums(CDs two and three). In this way, the student will be able to understand which rhythm goes with each song.

Musicians and singers:
Luca Brandoli - Akpwon, bata y coro
Yamil Derribal Mengana - Akpwon, bata y coro
Rafael Manolo Cisnero - Akpwon, bata y coro
Maikel Alberto Salazar - Akpwon y coro
Diango Sanchez Cobas - Bata y coro
