Watch Cajón Jam - Piraña Online | Vimeo On Demand

The ultimate cajón tuitional method, by the worlds' greatest player: Israel Suárez "Piraña". The legendary percussionist shows how to play this versatile instrument at the best of its potential, performing funk, jazz and latin rhythms, as well as his trademark flamenco style. Apart from explanations, technique exercises and patterns, there are three group performances consisting in two standard tunes (Chameleon and Afro Blue), and one improvisation, accompanied by electric guitar and bass. Two percussion solos complete the material which is over one hour long. The method focuses on understanding how to approach compound meter, with animated charts and musical examples. The video is complemented by an 80 pages book, containing full transcriptions of the two percussion solos, as well as sections on the history of the instrument, its maintenance and recording know-how.
