Salsa Jam Track

The Salsa is a type of Afro-Cuban dance music. We are going to be learning a simple Montuno pattern to play over a 2-3 Clave. Montunos are rhythmic and harmonic patterns first played by a guitar like instrument called a Tres and later by the piano. Along with the video I have also attached a jam track to practice with as well as PDFs for the chord changes and the Montuno with tab.

Make sure that you go and listen to some Salsa recordings. You can start with Tito Puente and go from there.

Enjoy!
