Video: Eddie Montalvo demostrates his masteful playing of tambaos. The video includes solos and interview of Eddie, in which he shares his secret about "playing in the pocket" and various techniques and rhythms. Especially note worthy is Eddie's solo from the 2:46 mark to the 3:36 mark and from 9:13 mark to the end of video (10:05); beautiful solos based on the tumbao. Enjoy!
