We have been spammed over and over by this guy, claiming he is not only a self proclaimed "Master Percussionist" as he is "called by his students" (yet no one else in the world proclaims him as such), but also calls himself "Dr."! Specifically "Dr. Zaragemca", which isn't even his real name!
IS he a doctor, with a degree from an accredited school with a rigorous academic program to certify him as such?
The answer for all people who have wondered this and searched on Google or Yahoo, or any other search engine: Unequivocally - NO!!
He has no such degree! He has no formal schooling which would be required by U.S. or any other country to be deserving of the title "Doctor"! He has no Ph.D., (not even an M.D.) or any certificate or diploma that would give him the title. Not even an honorary one, which would mean very little at best. There are no legitimate documents to be found that state he has earned the right to be called "Doctor"! It is a title he has bestowed upon himself from himself! He is passing himself off as having a music degree, when in fact HE DOES NOT HAVE ONE! He has even used words which do not exist, such as "percutive"! How much of an education do you have when you don't even know when something isn't even a real word!
In his own words:
So, there you have it! Straight from the horse's mouth! He is NOT a Dr., but claims to be one! Says that he has a "Ph.D." but doesn't! Gives all sorts of links to the matter that lead nowhere and prove nothing!
We have been annoyed by his posts and claims long enough to feel he deserves to be OUTED!
In conclusion, for anyone doing a search on the matter, this is the truth. He deserves all the credibility that any fraud deserves! NONE!
I submit this for all search engines to pick up and index to put this matter to rest!
End of post!

"Clave I don't need a Ph.D....I got more than that,becouse this is from my ancestors the one which brought it from Africa, to me,(I didn't have to go to any University),and not University could give me the true and unconditional knowledge which their trusted on me, also the evolution of the Afrocuban percussion patterns,(from the African Patterns),took place in Cuba,..not inside any University... thanks.Dr. Zaragemca"
