It’s el Dia del Son Cubano today in Cuba, so here is a bongo solo I transcribed by “El Matador,” Frank Oropesa. Frank is the bongocero and leader of Septeto Nacional de Ignacio Piñeiro, one of the oldest and most important Cuban bands in the world! This beautiful solo is from the opening track of their 2010 release, “¡Sin Rumba No Hay Son!” It’s the first son record I bought to study traditional bongo playing and it was a great entry into this amazing music. I added the feet because I just got this bongo stand and wanted to try it out next to my kit. I also just needed some attention lol
