He introduced a new main board members which was selected during previous AGM (Annual General Meeting) last semester. Apart from that, he also explain few things regarding the training as well as several activities and program which will be conducted during this tenure 2011/2012

After our president gave a short speech, the first training of this semester began. Our advisor and trainer, Brother Aswad do some revision of rhythm that we had learnt during previous semester. Among the rhythm are samba,afro,calypso,santana,zaping,inang,afuche and bomba.

After doing some revision, we started to learn new rhythm called 'Tumbao'. Tumbao is a basic and fundamental rhythm in Latin percussion.. Hence, it is crucial for us to learnt this rhythm. There are few rhythm included in 'Tumbao Family' which are Cha Cha, Salsa and Bossa. Inshaallah we will post the snippet video of our first training session soon!
