ARTURO AND CARIBBEAN RHYTHMS

The SO MANY musics of the Caribbean tell the many tales of the region's history, from the ancient island life of indigenous population to that population's devastation at the hands of Spanish, British, French and other colonial powers, from the horrors of the African slave trade to its many lasting political and personal implications, from the devastating mismanagement--if not outright plundering--of some of the region's post colonial leaders, to the generally democratic, and globally interactive countries of the day.  

Afro-Cuban percussionist and producer of the All Around This World: Latin America CD, Arturo Stable, is an encyclopedia of Caribbean rhythms. In this video Arturo gets us drumming.
