9 pieces in Latin Style-9 Latin style pieces for both study and performance plus notes on the scores & fingering glossary of chord symbols and notes on rasgueados. The A-B-A-C-A Choros form is used as a basic structure for all of the pieces and the styles and moods of the music vary from traditional and classical to Bossa Nova and jazz samba. In Brasil the Choros (diminutive Chorinho) owes its development to musicians performing either solo or in groups who often being obliged to play long hours during functions and festivals would improvise and create variations on popular and traditional themes. The compositions here are all based on this idea of stating a theme andthen creating variations & contrasts. Although the melodic harmonic and rhythmic content of the Choros/Chorinho has evolved greatly over time its underlying beat feel is traditionally 2 per measure and written with a 2/4 time signature. This generally makes comfortable reading for the guitar player because the beamed note groupings define clearly the rhythm patterns to be played. However much music that originally appeared in 2/4 time is now published in 4/4 with a cut time feel and which seems to be favoured by many musicians including guitarists who work in folk and popular idioms. For this edition the time signature which allows a clearer page presentation is chosen for each piece and no musical difference between the 2/4 and the Cut-time signatures is intended.

This book is the latest addition to Carlos Campos? series of Afro-Latin books for keyboard. Mr. Campos? previous books in this genre are Salsa: Afro-Cuban Montunos for Piano, Salsa: Further Adventures in Afro-Cuban Music, Latin Jazz Piano Vol. 1, Ultimate Latin Riffs and Salsa: Afro-Cuban Montunos for Guitar. In Merengue Piano Styles, Mr. Campos delves into an aspect of the music of the Dominican Republic called merengue, known for its intricate rhythms and ultra fast tempos. Mr. Campos 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, see below. While living in Boston, Carlos Campos spent many years studying and performing this particular genre with many merengue bands in the New England area. He later arranged, produced and recorded for several merengue artists. In the past, the only way to learn how to play the different styles of Afro-Latin music was to live in an area where that music genre was already very popular, so that one might connect with as many authentic musicians as possible, learning one pattern here, another there, via a very slow learning process that could take years if not decades to accomplish. Even though the process of immersing oneself fully and experientially into the musical style of our choosing is absolutely necessary for our musical growth, the need for concise, well-written and organized materials, written by someone who knows and lives this type of music is also essential. We at ADG believe that Mr. Campos? books have done a great service to the musical community by making Afro-Latin musical styles more accessible to students worldwide. We hope that this book and the rest of Mr. Campos? books find a special place in your musical world and that they become an integral part of your daily musical practice.

Each musical example has a single note improvised melody line with the chord progression At the end of the book there is the chord progression for the popular jazz standard "Blue Moon" showing you how to use various examples from the 100 riffs to create an improvised solo over the chord progression. By demonstrating this technique you can pick most jazz standards and create your own improvisational ideas using the book.
