The Swing Of The Latin Bass by Ray Ramírez

I invite you to watch the presentation, The Swing of The Latin Bass, to which I was invited for the ISB 2021 Convention of the International Society of Bassists, which took place from June 8 to 12, 2021 at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln School of Music.

Corrections:
1) There is a printing error in the chords progressions of the Descarga and Rumba examples 2, 3 and 4. I overlooked it and hadn't noticed. The Chord Progression for all this examples is C7 in the 4 bars like in example 1.
2) 16:50 Cha-cha-cha, example 3, under E flat there should be no dot.

Very helpful as a white guy trying to learn the distinctions between all the different Latin styles

As a child I was always going to my brothers rehearsals.. he passed away and I inherited his 60s Ampeg AEB-1 and BB Bass. I enjoy your lessons and bringing me the memories..

Por qué tienen por costumbre llamar a esos ritmos latinos aunque por cuestiones re región lo sean? Deben decir que esos ritmos son todos de Cuba.

Thanks so much for this awesome lesson. I'm a brazilian bassist currently stuying latin rythms. Keep up!

¡Muchas gracias, señor Ramírez!

Mr. Ramirez, thank you so much for this and your other videos. For a gringo like me, it helps a lot learning this music to hear the bass without the other instruments. It trains my ear to pick out the lines I hear in the full mixes.

Ive never seen anybody use harmonics on an upright bass. Very impressive technique

Just tremendo created y presentado! Gracias Ray!

The Ampeg BB-4 baby bass was a staple in every orquesta salsera I ever saw and now it's extremely hard to come by. Most I've seen online are in bad shape....at least cosmetically. Ray Ramirez has been the saving grace for Latin bajistas everywhere with his traditional designs.

Nice, I’m considering getting a baby bass
