The Clave Matrix: Afro-Cuban Rhythm: Its Principles and African Origins - Taschenbuch

'An incredible work of art' - Walfredo de los Reyes Sr.

'The Clave Matrix is extremely well written, very informative and utterly thorough. Besides the main body of the text, the Notes chapter, references, discographies, websites, etc., in the back of the book are fantastic! It's an excellent piece of work!' - Michael Spiro (author: The Conga Drummer's Guidebook)

'I highly recommend David's common sense method to this much underdeveloped area of Cuban music. This is THE standard of the genre.' - Conor Guilfoyle (author: Odd Meter Clave, Rhythmic Reading)

'If you have been waiting for a text that breaks down the concept of clave and its related complexities to a level of practical and useable detail, this is your book.' - Dr. Eugene D. Novotney, Professor of Music, Humboldt State University

'Everyone knows that Latin music is based on clave, but what is clave itself based on? The answer - a revelation to me, is one of many to be found in this meticulous study of Afro-Cuban rhythms.' - Kevin More (author: The Tomas Cruz Conga Method Vols. 1-3, Beyond Salsa Piano, The Cuban Timba Piano Revolution)
