This is the FREE audio album for Beyond Salsa Bass Volume 1 (For Beginners), the first in the bass series that includes bass tumbaos for each of the piano tumbaos (aka, montunos) in Beyond Salsa Piano, Vol. 1, but the bass volume is more than twice as long and contains many additional bass tumbaos and other exercises. The book begins by categorizing the most common Latin bass tumbaos by their rhythms and then proceeds to tell the history of Latin music from a bassist’s perspective, with notation for bass tumbaos from each era covered: changüí, rumba, son, danzón, big band and son montuno (a detailed study of Arsenio Rodríguez).
The complete, unabridged 186-page book is available in print and as an eBook as well as in the abridged online version that you're currently reading. There are 28 free, downloadable audio files and another 184 audio files available as a $10 download.

The primary job of the bassist in Latin popular music is to play a repeating figure that establishes
both a chord progression and a rhythmic groove. We call these figures tumbaos. A tumbao is
repeated – sometimes with variations – for a fixed or open‐ended period of time, after which a
transition leads to another such tumbao, and so on.
Bass tumbaos are used sparingly (if at all) during the opening section of an arrangement (aka, the
cuerpo, or canto) in which the lead vocalist sings a popular song, itself divided into subsections of
four to eight claves in length.1 The bass tumbaos come in during the second major section, (the
montuno section), comprised of call and response vocals (coros), instrumental solos played over a
repeated bass tumbao, and, beginning in the 1940s, sections featuring instrumental riffs (mambos).
In the earliest years of son and danzón there was no montuno section at all, but over time, the
montuno section has grown longer and longer. Today, the cuerpo comprises only a small percentage
of the overall length of an arrangement, especially in concert.

Beyond Salsa Bass is the companion series to Beyond Salsa Piano, launched in 2009 and now spanning 11 volumes. As of 2013, three bass volumes have been released: Volumes 6 and 7 on Alain Pérez, and this book, Volume 1: For Beginners. Included are bass tumbaos for each of the piano tumbaos (aka, montunos) in Beyond Salsa Piano, Vol. 1, but the bass volume is more than twice as long and contains many additional bass tumbaos and other exercises.
The book begins by categorizing the 16 most common Latin bass tumbaos by their rhythms and then proceeds to tell the history of Latin music from a bassist's perspective, with notation for bass tumbaos from each era covered: changüí, rumba, son, danzón, big band and son montuno (a very detailed study of Arsenio Rodríguez). Audio files are not included with the book.
