Rebeca Maulen, author of the critically-acclaimed Salsa Guidebook for
Piano and Ensemble and co-editor of The Latin Real Book, creates the ultimate
resource for the aspiring as well as the seasoned Afro-Caribbean pianist with
her newest book, 101 Montunos.

Tracing over one hundred years of development, Maulen explores
the range and variety of the piano's role in popular Afro-Caribbean music,
from its early beginnings to the latest in contemporary styles.
101 Montunos is a journey through dozens of styles which form the
basis of modern-day Salsa and Latin Jazz, from the Cuban danzn and songo
to the Puerto Rican bomba and Dominican merengue.

This guide gives detailed examples of the most popular rhythms
in Afro-Caribbean music, and includes recorded performances on CDs by
the author herself. With a bi-lingual (English/Spanish) text,
101 Montunos gives the reader a glimpse into the intricate and
syncopated world of Latin piano-playing, featuring well over one
hundred montuno patterns and variations-most including bass lines-as well
as several solo fragments by some of the most renowned pianists in the field.

This book and two CD package is a must for any pianist or keyboardist
wishing to explore the detailed history and technique of this marvelous art form.
