Volume 14 is the first volume of “Beyond Salsa Piano” to focus on Tirso Duarte, pianist, arranger, composer and singer for the great late-1990s incarnation of Charanga Habanera, recording artist and bandleader under his own name, and ex-singer for NG La Banda and Pupy y Los Que Son Son.
This book covers the songs Charanguero mayor, Confianza and El bla bla bla, with note-for-note transcriptions of Tirso’s piano tumbaos and a NOTE-FOR-NOTE TRANSCRIPTION for his entire performance on El bla bla bla.
The obsession with Cuban music that led to the writing of the Beyond Salsa series began – in many respects – in February of 1999, on the night that I first heard Tirso Duarte play the piano. It
was at the legendary Disco Azúcar club in Cancún, on the evening before my first trip to Cuba. Tirso’s piano‐playing was so astounding – and so moving – that I found myself incurably addicted by
the end of the night. I’ve thought of very little else in the intervening 14 years – returning to Cuba, collecting music, studying Spanish, and studying Cuban and Afro‐Cuban music and history. On each
of my subsequent trips to Cuba I met with Tirso and recorded many hours of MIDI files that, to this day, continue to yield amazing insights and on which the material in this book is based.
In this book we’ll study three songs: Charanguero mayor (Chapter 2), Confianza (Chapter 3), and El
bla bla bla (Chapter 4). Charanguero mayor and Confianza have three completely different piano
tumbaos each and El bla bla bla has four. Each tumbao is first presented on three staves, in its most
basic form, along with the accompanying bass tumbao and chord symbols. The three‐staff notation
corresponds to the “c” and “d” audio files, which have the piano alone in the left channel and the
bass in the right. Next, the rhythm section context is discussed in a “Gear Studies” section,
corresponding to the “e” and “f” audio files, which have the piano alone in the left channel and the
full rhythm section in the right.
Finally, each individual tumbao has a “Controlled Improvisation” section containing a series of
variations as played by Tirso. The variations have corresponding “a” and “b” audio files with the left
hand of the piano in the left speaker and the right hand in the right.
Beyond Salsa Piano is a history and anthology of the role of the piano in the Cuban rhythm section – from its first appearance to the present. In a broader sense, it’s a study of the tumbao – the art of creating music from layers of repeating rhythmic and melodic phrases. Whether these syncopated figures are called tumbaos, guajeos, montunos, riffs or vamps, this Afro-Cuban concept lies at the heart of nearly every popular music genre from salsa to rock , funk, R&B, hiphop and jazz.
While presented as a set of method books, the series doubles as a history course and record collecting guide for listeners, dancers, and players of instruments other than the piano.
Perhaps the most important goal of the series is to provide a comprehensive understanding of how tumbaos are constructed, their central role in the texture of Latin music of all eras, and the endless possibilities they provide for creative composing and arranging.
