NEWS
For those of you in the San Francisco Bay Area, there’s an incredible Latin music education opportunity starting this week – acclaimed percussionist, bandleader, and educator John Santos will be offering a multi-week course on the Afro-Cuban rumba. Santos will cover the different styles in depth, starting with the music’s early roots on the docks of Cuba, traveling through the many regional variations, and ending in the continuing modern day versions of rumba. The courses, offered in collaboration with SFJazz, will be held on Tuesday nights in The Museum of the African Diaspora. Get the full details HERE.
