Sync-ing up..I learned guaguanco from a teacher, a different version turned upon you-tube(and easier), Ed Uribe is different again, a bit disheartening, hope his is the difinative one cos as you say..great book.burke wrote:That was one of my first books and I still refer to it. As a non-music reader and not being from the traditions, I spent a while [a long while] on the clave section alone.
Some of his stuff doesn't seem to perfectly sync up with things I later learned but still ... great book.
Later as I learned to read [music] a bit better the whole deconstruction of the parts and structure of Salsa was really eye opening.

Mate there is no definitive version of Guaguanco , there are lots of different versions and different variations all over cuba

Mate there is no definitive version of Guaguanco , there are lots of different versions and different variations all over cuba . Main 2 styles are Havana and Mantanzas but both have lots of variations within that style . ED,S book has lots of different versions of the Havana style so my advice is learn them all ! Best of luck
