In this class students will develop some technique on the conga drums, and learn a few Afro-Cuban rhythms. We will learn the basics of the clave rhythm and how it fits into Afro-Cuban music. Bring a conga drum if you have one. Please contact andrea@freightandsalvage.org if you need help procuring a drum.
