Starting with American traditional folk songs, we�ll see how the Latin influences of syncopation and the offbeat change the �flavor� of a tune. Next, we�ll head down-island and visit reggae, the calypso and even the samba. This isn�t hard� quite the opposite! The laid-back nature of this music makes it easy and approachable. With more spaces than notes, once you�ve opened that door there�s always palm trees and sunny beaches on the other side.
