Discover the secret phrasing of African-descent rhythms in this one-on-one lesson! MI instructor Phil Maturano teaches Relayed Time Shifting (RTS), a unique system of shifting between cut time and 6/8, and covers complex and stylistically challenging rhythms such as mambo, cha cha, samba, bossa nova, soca and cumbia. On the CD, Phil demonstrates RTS as he plays along with his band Zumbadah-Asche, which features some of LA's hottest Latin players.
