This tutorial video on the Makuta rhythm was inspired by our visit to Cuba. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makuta_(drum)
The tutorial video features members of the Rumba All Stars, showcasing each instrument. You can follow them @RumbaAllStars. We hope this video increases your appreciation for Cuban music and each instrument's role. The clave pattern is played on a bell by Lazaro Ferran Perez and is highlighted on a separate screen.

We are driving around the world in our 1983 Toyota Land Cruiser named Nulla. Our favorite moments are when we find that intersection of music and art. We spent almost two months in Cuba at the beginning of 2023. During our time in Cuba, we witnessed the importance of music. Only one block from where we stayed, the legendary Rumbero de Cuba performed every Friday.
The highlight of our time in Havana was studying with legendary drummers and percussionists. We walked 30 minutes to Casa de Juan Bencomo almost daily to study Cuban rumba rhythms with Maestro Maximino Duquesne Martinez. The time spent with Maximino was an honor we will never forget, and we thank him for the opportunity.
We also want to thank Lazaro Rizo and Juan Bencomo, who shared their time with us and are featured in the video. In addition, we want to recognize and thank Miguelito Leon, who supported, coordinated the artist, and directed the development of the video.
I am a long-time student of the drum. It is from my experience as a student that I share this video this tutorial video. We plan to make more tutorial videos of artists we meet and their music. More to come!
