Piano tumbao de No Me Mires - Iván “Melón“ Lewis (slow)

From Beyond Salsa Piano Volume 6 (The Cuban Timba Piano Revolution) - here is te slow motion version of Melón playing the main piano theme from “No Me Mires“ and its first two variations. This a perfect example of the most critical timba piano innovation -- the idea that the piano tumbao be a “hook“ by which the song can be identified and that contributes greatly to the song’s popularity.
