Wow this video is old but a treasure! You’re an amazing instructor, you know your craft and teach it with excellence sir! The history, technique, style etc etc… I felt like I was in conga college, thank you! Hope you’re still teaching and playing. Dios te bendiga!
Wow. These videos are a great wealth of information. Not only did I learn many new techniques in playing the congas, but as a NY on2 dancer I can greatly appreciate the instruments in there entirety. I have always had questions as a dancers about the different congas, terminology, phrases, origins, etc. but in 4 short videos you have expressed so much more. Thank you so much Bobby Sanabria.
+Jon Pitre Glad you like it! Be sure to check out the bongo videos he made: ruclips.net/video/jBZ1C1ihCIY/видео.html&lc=z12nxnvgazegcjjaa04cgvsqutbqjfbwsaw
Really like how you explain the history of the congas and their names. I am an avid fan of the instrument and have been trying to learn how to play them, but raising children and working to maintain a family kept me occupied. I hope that with your videos i can get better each day with my drums. I have three just like the ones you have in your videos and love them to death. Hope i can follow your classes on you tube. Thanks for the fun......
I wish somebody could explain this clave thing that a classically trained musician would understand. I don't get it how the 6/8 clave actually aligns with the 4/4. The downbeat(open tone) resides on beat 4 in 4/4, but the clave hints that on the 2 side, there is a rest on beat 4. How does one come to the conclusion that the 1 open tone aligns with the 3 side, and the 2 open tones align with the 2 side? I don't see the connection apart from the tempo they're played.
Fernando Cardenas I studied with Javier Diaz and he said "the left lays down the beat and the right hand gives the flavor". So naturally a lot of conga stuff starts on the left.
I learned from your VHS tapes many years ago. Thank you for all you do and for preserving our culture. We are very proud of you! God Bless
Hey - Great lesson. It's nice to have a pro helping out our global drumming community.

Is he a leftie or is this how you should go about the whole thing?
