You are a great teacher..thank you wow, salseros in togas The music represented in this video is generally categorized as "Afro-Cuban" in that the specific styles mentioned form part of Cuba's vast array of rhythms. She uses the term "Latin" in a general sense in order to reach a general audience that may not have any familiarity with this music. Both terms "Latino" and "Latin" have been commercially adopted in popular culture as a way to discuss or identify this music; of course neither term is really adequate in describing music of Latin America. what do you mean? what distinction you make between latin music and latino music? What does whiteness have to do with anything she is good , she plays piano well, she played with famous Tito Puente , Pete Escobedo, Sheila E , she has it in her blood latin blood, many do because music is about feeling nothing to do with race I think this guy was expecting the basics of ancient Latin music from the Roman empire. OK, I don't think my video response worked. I humbly invite you to go to my channel and watch "A Visit From Clave." :) It's a humorous take on the Latin music traditions. Great lesson for beginners! Very cool. I'm posting a "video response" of a video I think you'll enjoy -- the lighter side of the clave tradition. It's called "A Visit From Clave." The light is on! someone is at Home! I hope you really are a musician,no matter what your level or experience is,keep on truckin' si se puede! You must be White or perhaps the or perhaps the greatest non-latino Musician! still waiting for your basics of latin Music! Great tutorial :) thanks. Ill include it in my gospel. Bless! wow, difficult:( "got rhythm?" well now I do. Excellent explanation. I wish you could continue teaching by creating more DVDs, through her books she is done a great job of explaining the basics of afro-cuban music because if you tried to understand it yourself it would take you a looooong time She's amazing. She was my Latin music teacher at CCSF. Best teacher EVER. :) Ok so it's Afro-cuban and not Latin as you say. That explains a lot, thanks. :) The music represented in this video is generally categorized as "Afro-Cuban" in that the specific styles mentioned form part of Cuba's vast array of rhythms.

How is she wrong? Please let me know. Thanks in advance! @jalqui6 I agree she is wrong in many ways. Latin Music is not the same as Latino Music. You are teaching the basics of Latino Music not Latin Music, that is a great difference. At 1:48 when she started to play montuno style I started to feel so happy that almost I cried. Montuno is absolutely my favourite music on piano and she is perfect.
