Great Grooves #7: Guaguancó

Interactive multitrack Cuban drumming mixer

Welcome

This is the 7th installment in our Great Grooves series. Use the interactive audio mixer below to hear what all six ensemble parts sound like in Guaguancó (wah-wahn-KOH), one of the three main types of traditional Afro-Cuban rumba.

Isolate different rhythmic parts and create original mixes by adjusting instrument levels — including soloing, muting and panning individual tracks. All instruments are played by GRAMMY-nominated percussionist, educator and bandleader Wilson “Chembo” Corniel (pictured above).
