    I'm Puerto Rican descent and I studied flamenco guitar in Souther Spain in Jerez de la Frontera and Luis el Perikin son of Flamenco legend Nino Jero who is a really nice guy and great musician who plays flamenco guitar and percussion couldn't stop talking of Giovanni Hidalgo, goes to show music is universal.

      I played these at guitar center, I've never heard such a deep resonance as the bass I was playing softly, they generate alot of sound from light taps so when you kick it up you're shocked at how loud but clear they remain, most professional drum I've ever played, they're easy to look at too!

    • @proverbalizer
      @proverbalizer 3 года назад +1

      perfect. I had to literally copy it, note for note...I only have 3 congas, so I used the low side of my bongo to get the 4th note (the one he has out in front)

    Giovanni Hidalgo is the perfect example of God putting someone on this earth with just one purpose. In this case, Mr. Hidalgo's purpose was to play the congas. I remember seeing him with Batacumbele a group, who in the minds of some, was way ahead of their time. He was the one everyone eventually kept their eyes on. He was just 16-17 years old at the time.
