Bongito by Brian Slawson is a fun percussion ensemble for beginner percussionists that also serves as an introduction into Salsa music!
This work uses a variety of Latin percussion instruments such as castanets, claves, guiro, timbales, bongos, etc. and to create a classic Salsa sound and flavor. This piece does not feature rhythms any faster than eighth notes, so it is perfect for percussionists still quite new to reading and playing music.
