The definitive book on how to learn to play merengue piano

This book is the latest addition to Carlos Campos’ series of Afro-Latin books for keyboard. The previous books in this genre are Salsa: Afro-Cuban Montunos for Piano, Latin Jazz Piano Vol. 1, Ultimate Latin Riffs and Salsa: Afro-Cuban Montunos for Guitar.

In this book, the author delves into an aspect of the music of the Dominican Republic called merengue, known for its intricate rhythms and ultra fast tempos and divides most of the examples in this book into “Derecho” and “Pambiche” styles. Selected examples are included in the accompanying CD, recorded at different tempos. Tracks containing bass and percussion only are also included.

The complete set of recordings containing every example in this book are also available in high quality mp3 files (over 300 megabytes of mp3 files) and/or midi files
