Learn to play Cuban Music, the Cuban Laud & Son Montuno

[drbrydie]

Does anyone have the the TABS or sheet music for this? Please provide a link. Thanks! db

[tresero2862]

@drbrydie I will try to do a transcription, it is just low on my priority list at the moment. I am finishing the Cuban Masters Series DVDS.

Is the song she playing Agallu Sola by Celina Y Reutilio ? And are there anymore videos with this girl playing the lute?

[tresero2862]

@freekyton I am not sure about the song, but it could be. Also, there are a couple more videos with her on my channel. I don't think I have anymore laud video unfortunately. This is all many years old, she is not a girl anymore!

[ShamefulBoner]

man,that weird bass line thing he's doing at around 2:10 is amazing.can anyone play it one guitar.so it would be easier to figure out.thanks

[freekyton]

@ShamefulBoner it's a she.

[tresero2862]

yes, but it will sound like a guitar, not a laud.

[Solstisol]

...or even a lute.

=0)

[rainbowpal3]

it would be 1 octave higher and not sound like a guitar ;)

Cuba que bella, que bella eres Cuba mi mas sincera admiracion a esta musica y a su interprete.

[gudulubuytakataka]

what are the strings order? which ones are on an octave?

[podoz]

very nice! I have just bought one of these "10 string guitars". Can anyone tell me what it is called and where i can find more information on how to play it? They are pretty much unheard of in australia.

[Marquette12]

well peru has a guitar that has ten stirngs, and i believe that is called a Charango, a few years ago when i first had this charango, i tried to find music for it. but my problem was there is the cuban version, the Charanga. which although i havent seen, to my understanding is a 10 string guitar, and this being cuban, fits the discription. Hope this helped.

[Tocinator]

This is a cuban lute.. the "charanga" has nothing to do with the charango, neither this lute nor this piece.

A charanga is a group of musicians

[Pinchoro]

not only Perú, but all countries with Andes in their territory have the charango in their folklore. Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, and Perú, with a very significant musical presence in all of them.

Great Musik

[barendschipper]

Thank you for the video. Very inspiring, I will visit your site and read more on your book!

I am a professional composer pianist. I send you as a video comment my Slow Samba for solo piano, performed at the Roland stage piano, with a fine Samba pattern. I created the piece as I performed it, at the spot. I put our ingrown distaste for anything digital aside. I think the music works as the live event it was. Enjoy Tresero! My respect for your beautiful instructive video!

La afinacion es en mi web salsablanca /ethno/laud

[Danteknife]

Muy interesante. Un amigo cubano me dijo que el laúd se empleaba en la música campesina. Me gustaría saber cual es la afinación de este laúd. Felicitaciones.

This is a Havana interpretation of the history of son montuno. There are extremely reputable ethnomusicologist from eastern Cuba who give a different background to son montuno, namely that it is son from the mountains, predating Matamoros.

[tresero2862]

It is semantics. I never said son was from Havana. It has it's roots in Nengon, Kiriba and Changui. All from Guantanamo and Baracoa.

That said, for me, son is a modern fusion and includes clave as we now know it. The earlier styles don't have clave or martillo.

[mdubuque]

Son montuno (son from the mountains) PREDATES son, it was in the hills above Santiago BEFORE it descended down into Santiago where Matamoros and others made son what it is. Son is an urban song form that then traveled to Havana. But it was preceded by son montuno, son from the mountains, according to several prominent ethnomusicologists from Oriente, where the music was born, not Habaneros.

[tresero2862]

I think you are missing the point. I agree, but it was not called son de monte at that time. It was first kiriba from Baracoa and Nengon from the mountains. The fusion of the two became what is know as son, popularized by Matamoros.

I have studied in Santiago also.

@mdubuque

Having wandered Oriente for several weeks, been to Baracoa, Santiago, passed Guantanamo, and through Alto Songo and La Maya slept in the hills near El Cobre I have to dispute that Son was 'urban music' before it arrived in Havana. It may be less rural than the music it had evolved from- slightly- but La Habana was the only truly urban environment in the island.

To describe the addition of clave and bongo as urbanisation is also contentious, it being a fusion of rural styles.
