#España-lanzamiento de flamenco

Viajamos a Valencia y pasamos una semana con el increíble cajonero Sergio Martínez. Grabamos 12 estilos de flamenco diferentes que serán lanzados los próximos meses. También incluimos una sesión de trio, una en PercussionTuror, con el guitarrista José Manuel León y el cantante Rafael Vargas.

Se incluyen 3 estilos esenciales de flamenco (9 ritmos en total con 9 vídeos):

-Bulerías
-Soleá por Bulerías
-Tangos

Como prometido hace 7 años esta actualización es gratis sin compras irritantes/pesadas dentro de la aplicación o cualquier modelo de suscripción codicioso.

# We added 3 new rhythms #

- Xaxado from a genre called forró which originated in the northeast part of Brazil.
- Yuca , an Afro-Cuban folkloric rhythm played by the Bantu.
- Conga also called conga de comparsa is the name given to the rhythm of the Cuban Carnaval. Comparsas are large ensembles of costumed dancers, musicians and singers that perform in the street carnavals of Havana and Santiago de Cuba. In this example, you hear a conga habanera from Havana.

Enjoy!

- New audio engine. Time-stretching is now pitch-shift compensated. This was the most requested feature and deserves a version number 5.

- Salsa 2 bug fix (bongos aren't congas and congas aren't bongos)

We got a 4.5/5 score from the great German online magazine Bonedo: http://www.bonedo.de/artikel/einzelansicht/percussiontutor-app-version-44-test.html. And take a look at Modern Drummer's October edition: " 9 iOS Apps Every Drummer Should Know".

###Special new year edition###

- 4 new rhythms: Timba, Abakua Havana, Agayu Part 1 & 2 (with three new videos)
- audio over bluetooth functionality is back!
- playback indicator (very handy to know your position in a rhythm's cycle and of course to give us simple mortal players an idea about the first downbeat ...)
- minor bug fixes (also some sheet corrections, thanks to bonedo.de for pointing that out)
- we updated the version number to 4.92 and there is a reason why we stopped short of calling it a V5.0 ... so expect great things in 2016!

- 2 new rhythms: Songo 2 & Songo 3
- minor bug fixes
- metronome sound is not pitched during time-stretch (YEAHHH!))
