Faithless Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 (edited) Ok, so, at the moment I'm digging at the Latino music, especially Salsa via my Bass Bible by Paul Westwood. What players would you recommend me to look at and nail out their parts, I mean trancribe their songs(by ear, of course)? I don't need any hard stuff for the beginning. Suggestions welcome. BTW, I'm looking for some free-soft programme with some Latino and Funk style beats (drum patterns) - anyone could recommend decent one?

s_u_y_* Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 (edited) I quite like Max Santos from Aventura. They're a modern Bachata act with bit of contemporary R&B influence. The grooves are quite straight forward stuff, i.e. root, minor 3rds and fifths stuff. But he throws in some interesting licks about and manages to hold a strong foundation whilst being quite melodic. Their big tunes are Mi Corazoncito and Obesion. Todavia Me Amas has some great licks too. I know you can find them on YouTube.

woodster Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Lincoln Goins, not sure of the spelling, is a legendary latin player and Fodera endorser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 My favourite latino/country (??) player is Robert Earl Reynolds from the Mavericks. Not exactly salsa, but then not exactly anything in particular, just good music with a south american vibe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumelow Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 quite a bit of mars volta stuff has a strong latino sound with superb bass parts thanks to juan alderete. give em a listen, far from sounding like traditional salsa/latino though. far from sounding like any traditional style of music to be honest though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
