Product description
The word salsa in translation means sauce, which also describes it accurately from a musical point of view. Salsa is a complex blend of Cuban musical and dance forms such as son clave, son, danzón, mambo, cha-cha-cha or afro.
The author of the book Petr Smetáček has written nine rhythmic studies for early intermediate pianists, which will introduce you to different rhythms and styles of salsa. The title includes a link to download demo recordings of all the etudes, both piano solo only and with rhythmic percussion accompaniment. And there is also a link to Petr Smetacek's youtube channel, where all the etudes are also recorded live, so you can not only listen to the etudes, but also see how Mr. Smetacek plays them.
Petr Smetáček (*1984) is a Czech musician, composer, accompanist and piano teacher. From an early age he was fond of the piano and music, especially classical, jazz, folk and later Latin-American salsa. Over the years he started playing other instruments as well, such as Czech bagpipes and Afro-Cuban percussion, while he also started composing and leading bands, but the piano was still his main point of interest. He studied composition at the Jaroslav Ježek Conservatory in Prague, and during his studies he had already been playing with various ensembles in the Czech Republic and often even abroad. For many of them he composed music, too. Currently he performs mainly with his Los Rumberos ensembles and also with Peruvian percussionist Carlo Zegarra Abanto or with his wife, Japanese soprano Yukiko Kinjo Smetacek. Since 2017 he has been working as a piano teacher and accompanist at the art and music school in Slany. In his free time he composes both for students and ensembles of art and music schools, as well as for professional artists and groups.
