Hello Cuba! Son. Salsa. The Buena Vista Social Club.

It’s here I realized that I could never fully feel the dance of Rumba until I learned to play Guanguanco rhythm on the congas and claves. The two are married, dancer and drummer.

We had the most blessed opportunity to study with Obini Bata, Cuba's first all-female bata orchestra —- two days in row! Ever play the bata drums? Without a doubt, one of the most aggressive and complex percussion instruments I ever played. My hands were extremely angry with me for days.
