'The Peanut Vendor' - latin/jazz piano tutorial

The Peanut Vendor. This is another go at Cuban style latin jazz piano. It is a good tune to work on as the same 2 bar harmony can sit under the whole tune giving you plenty of practice playing the repetitive Left hand piano figure(s).
On my website, I have put a pdf file notating some of these figures.

You might like to practise using the backing track I recorded (also free to download on my website).

Doug,

I just started getting into Timba and learning the Tumbaos. I have never thought about the Salsa Stride. Thanks! Great feel. I know what you mean about the "autopilot" comment. Playing this verbatim just doesn't seem to cut it as good as just feeling it.

I'd love to try this I just think the left hand would be too hard for me to keep in rhythm with I'm awful with off-beat notes ;(
