The Bible of SALSA by 8Dio
8Dio traveled to Cali, Colombia, the self-proclaimed ‘World Capital of Salsa’ to record the most in-depth Salsa collection ever produced. Along with stellar musicians and surrounded by the amazing energy Latino artists have, 8Dio spent months recording what would become this jewel that is ‘The Bible of Salsa’.
The Bible of Salsa: Volume One Content
Volume One contains thousands of rhythmic patterns, improvised phrases and multi-sampled phrases in unison specifically tailored towards Salsa music and its many, many sub-styles including Timba, Guaracha, Bolero, Boogaloo, Guaguanco, Yoruba, Columbia, Salsa Choque, Slow Salsa, Fast Salsa, and Plena. Over the last two years, 8Dio has worked with professional Salsa musicians sampling everything you need to create authentic Latino music.
Piano Rhythmic Patterns
The piano rhythmic patterns (montunos) have a huge range of chord choices played in root position along with the most used inversions for this type of music. The beauty of sampling independent phrases is that you can get real performances from real players with the touch of a key.

Brass
Each Brass, recorded in amazing detail provides thousands of custom phrases to create the perfect Salsa song. You can use these individual improvised phrases to create your own custom melodic solos, or multi-sampled phrases in unison to the comp with the perfect rhythmic passages, which thanks to our advanced polyphonic legato technique, can do fast voice movements not possible with traditional multi-sampling. Although in unison, each of the instruments was recorded isolated, allowing detailed control over each of them.

All the choir phrases were recorded using both traditional voices and the ‘nasal’ color featured in authentic Salsa music.
