The 3 Things You MUST Know About Salsa Piano (Plus 4 essential exercises)

[@Gjermund-Sivertsen]

Thanks for watching! 🙏 To clarify: TUMBAO is spelled with U, yes! To remember the word (for new people), we used TOM, the AI (to prove the point). I'm sorry if anyone found it misleading. 🎹😃

Dancing the salsa “basic step” for a while also helped me feel the salsa rhythm. The dance along with the clave illuminates the elusive down beat.

[@raulblancomusic]

Awesome video! 👏 I also would like to point out that in modern Cuban circles, we also call the piano montuno “tumbao”. Greetings 🎶

Thank you so much sir ❤️

[@Jorge.Porras]

TUMBAO with "u", comes from "knock down" and in salsa music is the formula to play the disected chord in arpeggiated form, initialy played on the "tres" instrument (a three chorus guitar instrument in latin america, Cuba). More info coming. In spanish the verb is "tumbar". NOT TOMBAO, BUT TUMBAO with "u". Thankyou.

[@Jorge.Porras]

"Tumbao" comes from deleting the "d" between the "a" and the "o", usually coastal native speakers delete the "d" by speaking. Original spanish would be "tumbaDo" with "d".

😂Love the little jokes here and there

[@Gjermund-Sivertsen]

Yes. Tom Bao is saying hello here 😀

[@MCAlvesPortugal]

Son clave came from Portugal and Spain

[@JoaoCarlos-gd1km]

Show👏👏👏❤

[@lightspeedhorse8964]

It all sounds very Tito puente, how about the next evolution into Eddie & Charie Palmieri, Willie Colon (Markolino), Sonora Ponceña, Ray Barretto & many more.

[@Jack-fs2im]

Salsa is the hardest to keep time imo

[@Gjermund-Sivertsen]

I know. It can be confusing at first :)

[@pt2873]

Both the dance salsa and the orquestration. I learnt salsa percussion in order to dance better. So I can dance to the clave beat or even the tumbao rhythm. It's easier say for the timbales player because any two rhythms are relative to each other.

[@thoris59]

Awesome but explanation but correct spelling is "tumbao" not Tombao. All good though. Great explanation and excellent examples

[@Gjermund-Sivertsen]

Sorry for that. Yes, you're ➡.. I should have put that out there. (But it would not work with Tom Bao then) 😃 Thanks for pointing it out

[@jesusmarquez5617]

It is TUMBAO

[@Gjermund-Sivertsen]

Yes.. Thanks. Tum was not available, so we had to ask Tom Bao for the joke to work. 😃

[@Lihue.musica]

1:59 is TOM BAO real or an AI?

[@Gjermund-Sivertsen]

AI 😀

African Americans Jazz musicians helped developed Afro-Cuban Music and Salsa Music. Jazz cats like Dizzy. Gillespie.

[@AkiraSamuray]

Sorry but wrong. Salsa and Afro Cuban music is original from Cuba and have NO American Jazz influence. Just Spanish and African influence. LATIN Jazz is the one with American Jazz influence. LATIN Jazz is basically Cuba Music (Salsa and Afro Cuban) WITH American Jazz influence. Many Latin musicians play BOTH worlds: The Salsa Afro Cuban AND also Latin Jazz. Some of them also play American Jazz.

[@AkiraSamuray]

Sorry but wrong. Afro-Cuban and Salsa have NO American Jazz influence. Afro-Cuban and Salsa is just Cuban music and have influence from Spain and Africa. Latin Jazzy is the one that have influence from American Jazz. Latin musicians many times play the 3 styles: 1) Salsa/Afro-Cuban, 2) Latin Jazz and 3) Americam Jazz Salsa is originally from Cuba. But were Puertorricans the ones that made Salsa music famous. That's why the name Salsa is not even that music real name. Is just different styles of Cuban music (among them Son Cubano and Montuno Cubano). Because is a mix of Cuban music, that music was called mix of styles like when you mix ingredients on a sauce (salsa) cooking. Salsa literally means sauce in English. People out side from Cuba didn't knew that "new"music was Cuban music and calle it Salsa. In the beginning of Salsa international exposure, some Cubans rejected that name. They thought should be called just Cuban music, not salsa or anything else.

[@elunico13]

Cracking up that they gave you montunos written out 😅😂 This is a very basic video. No where near what is actually played on albums nowadays.

[@Gjermund-Sivertsen]

Yes, it is a basic video. That was the purpose. Feel free to share your own if you have one.

[@nezkeys79]

Nah I was listening to a Latin jazz album recently and its got many lines on it similar to what are in this video. Greats like Eddie Palmieri and Michel Camilo are on it. Even if its "basic" patterns it still sounds very authentic. It doesn't haven't to be ridiculously difficult rhythmically or harmonically to be authentic Why dont you link to examples of "what people play nowadays"?

[@elunico13]

​@@nezkeys79Latin Jazz is fun. The video we are commenting on was for Salsa. Lots of similar elements. Here's an example of the sound I'm referring to. Ever wonder why multiple tutorials are posted to cover blues and jazz, but only one for "salsa montunos". kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6u2dGCuhtVqo6M

[@nezkeys79]

@@elunico13 very cool sound but I still hear the same off beat montunos in the piano they are just more melodic at times than the examples presented in this video but to be fair the video creator never professed to be showing advanced salsa grooves Also Latin Jazz sounds very similar to Salsa imo. The guy I mentioned Eddie Palmieri? Isn't he well known for these styles?

[@nezkeys79]

@@elunico13 btw what wpuld classify this as? I absolutely adore the piano in this and have never seen a transcription or been able to figure it out kzbin.info/www/bejne/oquUfXqAjt9lmaM
