Track 1 from Saydisc "Percussion around the World" - notes from Maureen Hanke.
Vientos del Sur is an example of traditional music of the Andes. It features the Bolivian pipes, accompanied by the interesting percussion sound of the bombo. The bombo is the double-headed frame drum of Spain and South America.
In Vientos del Sur, the bombo plays throughout. The beats are arranged into groups of 6 and the bombo plays on the first of each group of 6.
This is the strong beat.
(In a music session note how the low pitch of the bombo gives a feeling of strength to the piece. Count the groups of 6 while you listen.)
