Looks like a great source.
Be sure to check out the sample video clips from the DVD.
Looks like something I would love to have in my collection.

I am eventually planning to start learning bata on my own and came across this video. My question is what is the difference between the Matanza style and the Havana style? I know this dvd is based on Matanza style which is close to the area where I'm originally from so I would prefer to learn it anyway but would like to know more details. Thanks

Tone,
I am not familar enough with Matanzas-style bata to list for you all the differences between that system and the Havana-style. I can say that by far, they are more similar than different. I recommend listening to
• "Sacred Rhythms of Cuban Santeria" Conjunto de Tambores Batá de Amado Diaz Alfonso (Smithsonian Folkways CD 40419)
for an example of the Matanzas igbodu, and
• "Sacred Rhythms" Regino Jimenez and Grupo Ilu Aña (Bembe CD 2027)
for an example of the Havana igbodu
In the interest of full disclosure - I'm Vice President of Bembe Records. Still, I think I'm not biased when I say that "Sacred Rhythms" is the clearest recording of batá by a Cuban master. Mike Spiro did an excellent job of producing the CD.
