La Musica Es En La Sangre

The music is in the blood...at least that is how it is in my family. I don't know a single member of my family who isn't musically inclined and/or talented. It is a must in our family to learn how to read music, compose it and learn to play an instrument. You learn it, hate it, learn to love it and then learn to dance to it. My dad's choice is Salsa and percussion.

Every visit to his house means a music lesson for Leah and now Louis. Louis loves his Abuelo's drums.








Leah showing Louis the ropes. Bongos look easy enough but there is a specific way to play them. It is something you need to learn. How you hit them, with what part of your hand, the tone changes with every move of your hand across the bongo.
