Books on Disco / Funk / 70's / Boogie style conga
Posted: Fri Sep 02, 2011 3:45 pm
Hello all,
There are loads of books on Conga but I am particularly interested to know if anyone here can recommend books with notation on the aforementioned styles?
There is a great thread where users were posting their funk / 4/4 conga rhythms, I was wondering if there was a resource where these styles had been notated?
I am a percussion beginner but can read notation and find this easier than watching a video, hoping you may be able to help.
Also, as a related but different question, I don't suppose anyone knows where I could find percussion notation for the Incredible Bongo Band's version of Apache (I realise this is going to be mostly Bongos but thought worth asking). I can figure out the music easy enough but a transcription for the percussion would be great.
Thanks!
