Cuban Rhythmic Vocals Class with Fito Reinoso (1st and 3rd Sundays)
June 19, 2016 @ 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm
Class: 3:30pm – 4:30pm (Students are invited to stay after class for a Rumba jam session!)
1st & 3rd Sundays, $10-$15
Join Rumba and Salsa legend, Fito Reinoso, for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn about the essence of Cuban music! This class is for anyone who loves Cuban culture and would like the opportunity to learn Cuban music with a focus on “cantar con clave”, or “singing with rhythm”.
The class will then build on this voice/rhythm foundation by incorporating instruments, such as: Conga, Quinto, Tres-Dos, and Tumbadora.
Fito will also be inviting world-class musicians into the classroom to teach about both folkloric and popular Cuban music “con clave” (with rhythm).
“I want to pass on what I have learned to future generations.” said Mr. Reinoso, about his motivation for the Rumba class. “It’s time for me to give back to the people.”
Time: 3:30pm-4:30pm
Every 1st and 3rd Sunday!
