Students will dive into the world of Latin rhythms and percussion instruments, exploring their history and influence on other music genres. They will learn to play authentic instruments such as maracas, clave, guagua, and drums, developing their inner music sense and improvisation skills. The program includes hands-on practice, appreciation of Bembe and Salsa music, and a recording studio session to record their own music. This immersive experience aims to deepen students' understanding of Latin percussion and enhance their musical abilities.
