Bass
Every musical style based on harmony makes use of bass instruments to set the
harmonic as well as rhythmic foundation. World Music includes two bass instruments
from Latin America and one from Russia.
Latin Baby Bass
The Latin “baby” bass is an upright electric bass guitar with a compact body that has
become widely used in salsa bands around Latin America, particularly in Cuba. The
baby bass is played through an amplifier, but has a tone similar to an upright bass.
Afro-Cuban music makes frequent use of cross-rhythms, and the punchy sound of the
baby bass allows it to cut through as it interweaves with the drummer’s rhythms.
The baby bass is made of wood and metal, and uses metal strings tuned in the
standard E-A-D-G bass guitar tuning.
