Unfortunately his Sponsor LP are just as another Take advantage of ' where were they when they knew he had a sugar problem? Or when he was being taken advantage of?
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 have been playing congas for 21 years.. i started playing at 18, i am now 39.. man how time flyes! So i consider myself to be good. Ive always had music in my blood picked it up effortlessly... but this man blows my mind! Amazing talent...
Majestic and worthy of great respect and admiration. I understand that everyone wants to be special in this world, but in reality, very few people alive can be truly called the best at what they do, and this man, deserves that mention many times over.
AWWWW Giovanni Hidalgo!!! You and Changuito were such a big part of a spiritual transformation I had during some of the best years of my life and I just want to say I love you bro. God Bless you + + +
I love it first time I ever touched a pair of congas I was 8 years old when my dad was in a salsa band and I’ve played ever since i love you dad god bless you
Giovanni Hidalgo change the Way that we play the Timbas he inspire thousand of percussionists to be better to improve our self.. He show us how to be a protagonists no only to do and be a good rhythm section, also he change the traditional way to play rumba and salsa. Govanni is an extraordinary musician a master in percussion... for me he is a Complete musician Giovanni can play all type of percussion instruments.. GH is a Latin jazz legend.. my respect and admiration
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!
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)
IN THE MID 90'S I BOUGHT THE SET OF GIOVANNI GALAXIES WITH BONGOS AND COLLAPSIBLE STANDS. I HAVE NEVER WANTED TO SOLO( I MUST BE THE ONLY ONE ON EARTH NOT TO WANT TO) BUT I REALIZED LATIN LOUNGE JAZZ AND AMERICAN STANDARDS IS WHAT I LOVE MOSTLY. AS LONG AS PERCUSSION FITS IN. FOR ME PLAYING SOFTLY WITH STYLE MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE.
Thing is, doesn’t matter if it’s Lang Lang on piano, Eric Clapton on guitar, Steve Gadd on drums or this amazing gentleman on Congas - it just wonderful to watch a musician who has completely mastered an instrument. I could watch this video everyday and never get bored.
Es increible como él toca. Me fascina la afinación de las congas y aunque tiene una velocidad exorbitante, no la usa todo el tiempo. He visto el vídeo de principio a fin y no me aburrió en ningún momento. Bravo Giovanni!!
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.
Got to hang out with him on 11/1/24 at a rumba on the Lower East Side He stood on the sidelines for a while, and then started beating out rhythms on a cowbell, and then finally sat down at the tambores. What an honor!
where's my receipt....I don't even wanna play anymore🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️....lol.... this man leaves congas on fire when he's done. amazing💥🤙🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾💕👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑
Besides years of training and practice, this man is a genius. Very few of us have the brain neurological connections governing with lightening fast command over the arms, wrists, hands, and fingers in keeping with syncopation of complex rhythms and polyrhythms.
Met the man about 3 days ago. I am a percussion tech and when I found out I was teching for him, I flipped. Such a kind man and monster on the congas!
What an honour. Time to practice
Unfortunately his Sponsor LP are just as another Take advantage of ' where were they when they knew he had a sugar problem? Or when he was being taken advantage of?
I’m in California, where can I learn to play the congas?
very so amazing.. congas is very wonderful sound.. thank you very so much.. i like latin music..😊

Will your congas beat you through your 40’s or will your 40’s beat the congas?
@@DrVeerjay ill always love playing the congas.. ill play till im old, and my hands are slow and withered.
Not only technically but musically great.
You have a little clip to seeee you are anther master❤
Giovanni is one of those musicians who inspires you to be good, even if you're not a congero. People like him are rare, but very important.
For sure the best conga playing that I have ever seen/heard
Majestic and worthy of great respect and admiration. I understand that everyone wants to be special in this world, but in reality, very few people alive can be truly called the best at what they do, and this man, deserves that mention many times over.
The living lengand and the King of Congo drumming and Latin percussion in the world.....Amazing perfection
Holy shit, it was pure gold from beginning to end. My most sincerest respects.
Bravo, Giovanni. Love u.
Had to honor to see this man play with Batacumbele many years ago, and several times after that. Best percussionist to ever live.
😄
I have had the great honor of being in classes taught by him twice. He is a very friendly and selfless person in addition to being a great teacher.
Me gustaría adquirir esas hermosas congas alguien sabe como pedirlas soy de Saltillo coahuila
I am absolutely speechless. In my opinion, this man is and always will be the greatest conguero ever, hands down. Incredible!
Been listen to Giovanni play for ever . One of the greats
AWWWW Giovanni Hidalgo!!! You and Changuito were such a big part of a spiritual transformation I had during some of the best years of my life and I just want to say I love you bro. God Bless you + + +
What a solo.. so dynamic, curious, and exciting
This is the guy that got me into drumming, I bought one of his compact congas and started watching his videos, now I can't stop, help....
I love it first time I ever touched a pair of congas I was 8 years old when my dad was in a salsa band and I’ve played ever since i love you dad god bless you
The feel, the rolls, the technique eyyyyy that should do it! Beast mode can’t even be deactivated on this man haha
Blessed. Getting old and still pushing the edge of possibilities... Bravo!!!!
I must have watched this video when it was first published. But it still stuns years later! Unbelievable speed and technique. Bravo!

A great master of percussion! Perfectly sounding congas!
amazing groove these drums are tuned masterfully!

Q
Queen of all instruments-sounds so great-nothing resonates with me quite so well; I am now happy , so thank you!

I'm just starting to play, because of talent like this makes me want to play and play.
All I can say is, --- BLESS YOU POPPY -- Espanyol !!!!!!!!!!!!! Love you Man. Your drums were tuned perfectly. Perfect !!
Love the look and sound of the Giovannis!

The best of the word
incredible - thank you Giovanni - absolutely beautiful...
I wonder how hard it is to learn the double palm technique. This guy is just so flawless. Amazingo!
My father has had his black fiberglass congas since the 70s and still playing them today. Lp is a great brand.
Orgullo de Puerto Rico y de sus hermanos en conga Cubanos que también le influenciaron.
Beautiful Congas
I'm spellbound and I've met him before. Magical!
Love this Conga solo… ☮🔥

Tremenda calidad de video. Giovannni el mejor en los cueros.Muchas gracias por subir el video.
Besides years of training and practice, this man is a genius. Very few of us have the brain neurological connections governing with lightening fast command over the arms, wrists, hands, and fingers in keeping with syncopation of complex rhythms and polyrhythms.
Precisely. Training and practice help, but to play like this you have to have a really special mind.
Maestro. Exelente. .saludos. desde. Mexico.

amen
es de otro planeta, que viva muchos años.
Wow, incredible!!
why was there no huge applause from the film crew after this??? i would've lost my professionalism and just cheered! man this is great.
He is used to receive aplause. He is one of the greatest congueros. This was just a video showing his habilities. Watch him in concert in a Jazz jam
