I of this e-mail earlier in the week...
I have 3 Lázaro books available. The first is'Arara!', which is a transcription of his CD of the same name. The CD comes with the book. The second is 'Congo!' which has 35 songs of Makuta, Palo, and Yuka, from the Afro-Cuban Congolese tradition. This comes with a DVD of Lazaro singing the songs accompanied by all the percussion. The third is 'Bembe/Guiro' and it has 40 Yoruba songs as accompanied by drum or Shekere. It also has a companion DVD. Besides having a complete transcription of each song, I include the rhythms and a brief history and description of each tradition.
The books sell for $40 each or $110 for 3, plus shipping ($6 for 1 book and $10 for 2 or 3 books).
Best,
Richard Thaler
