Demonstration of basic and advanced maraca techniques with a short, groovy solo at 92 bpm. Not a drum tutorial / class / lesson on how to play the #maracas or beginner playing techniques, but I hope it can help you find new ideas, for that incredible Latin #percussion instrument, one of the most ancient and authentic indigenous rattle instrument of both Americas and the Carribbean.

The deal for this episode 8 was to explore in a minute as many sound possibilities and techniques the regular Cuban maraca playing position could offer, without switching to a maraca llanera holding position, which, in terms of sonic and rhythmic possibilities, I have absolutely NO ambition to compete with, considering the incredible complexity and virtuosity of Venezuelan and Colombian maracas llaneras and the amazingly beautiful repertory they are part of!!!

Playing here the #Meinl MSM3 Traditional Rawhide Maracas, a well-balanced and robust instrument, with a sharp and warm sound (no plastic here, only organic material!!!:))). Very precise and versatile, although not as loud and easy to handle as professional plastic-made equivalents, this pair of high-end maracas will fit all accompaniment purposes, from a discreet bolero to a powerful salsa.

#SixtySecondsShow #Episode8: no high/small percussion is meagre... :):))) Enjoy!
