Thank you for your lesson, I'm fairly new but it is you who's been teaching me. I really can't thank you enough. Much love from the tri state area. (N.Y. N.J. CT ) BTW I loved the dog.
You're a great player and teacher. You gave a thorough and detail explanation about how Rumba Guaguancó is played using three congas. Your video has a very personal feel to it, liking being in the room with you. Thank you so much for posting!
@@dancepapi these videos are great! How can I learn more about the spiritual aspects of cuban music and dance as well as the cultural history? I'm learning cuban style salsa dance (casino) and I want to better understand all the elements that go into it like son and guanguanco and santeria etc. I've been learning west african dance for years, and the classes I go to are great at telling us the name of the drum rhythms that match the dance, the songs and lyrics that go with them, and the specific ethnic groups of origin. I haven't been able to find a cuban salsa class like that so far. I'm wondering if maybe you have recommendations in the San Francisco Bay Area, online, or...I'm actually willing to travel. Book recommendations are welcome too! If I end up needing to take a class that's more about ethnomusicology or even spirituality, I'd be open to that, just hoping there will also be a connection made to the dancing aspect. Thank you!

You my friend are a true teacher. Sincerely appreciate the lesson…especially the breakdown of HOW to enter on a 3/2 clave. Many thanks from conga enthusiasts abound
This is like having a private lesson with Edgardo Cambon that I get to keep coming back to. What I don't get the first time around I can come back to again and again. Great stuff.
Fantastic lesson Papi. I was having trouble combining the clave and congas, it was hard to get on track but you're a clear explanation was very helpful.
Wow, this is, by far, the best latin percussion tutorial I've seen on RUclips. Man, you are a real maestro. Gracias por compartir de manera tan generosa sus conocimientos!
Brother, I love the way you play the congas and the way you teach. You are truly a teacher and a master of the congas. Some guys play, but can't teach but it's a master who can play and teach. Please keep making your video lessons. They are super valuable, especially for a Puerto Rican like myself who aspires to finally learn percussion.

It’s taken me over a month to learn this properly from your video. Every moment was a joy. I can finally play along with you in time. You are a great instructor. Thanks for sharing!
Learn the Havana style of #Rumba #Guaguancó on Conga Drums in this video lesson by master instructor Edgardo Cambon. We'll start with 2 drums then break out the pattern to 3 drums. Feel free to +1/Share if you found this video helpful!
Great lesson on rumba guaguanco! Love the way he taught this style! Made this very easy to learn. Everyone has their own way, but I like his way cause its very easy to understand for beginners. Thank you papas!
Playing congas is my hobbie, and one of the joys in life that don't get to as often I would like to. But finding your video has motivated me to set aside time to practice more because now I can get world class lessons from you, that I couldn't afford otherwise. THANK YOU for being on youtube
+Michael Nares Thank you so much for the kind comments Michael! Comments such as yours is the reason why we create these video lessons. We're incredibly grateful to have your viewership and look forward to bringing you more videos! Please stay tuned!
Maestro Edgardo Cambon has an easy-going style of teaching the fundamentals and complexities of various conga rhythms. I like how he explains beginning, intermediate and advanced techniques for playing Guaguanco. It's a fun way to learn! Maybe next time we can see a video on Mozambique style drumming...the kind they used to play in New York back in the day. Great job!
Thank you so much! The best guaguanco tutorial I have seen so far and I have seen a lot. You are a natural teacher a fantastic player as well. God bless you!
You are very good I'm gonna keep practicing It's gonna take me awhile I know it is But I won't give up I only have one drum I have to get the Congo The middle one I have the base
Thank you Mr. Edgardo. You are the greatest and the best teacher. I wish to have a neighbor like you so we can jam during the weekends :). God bless you.
Dance Papi, I observed that you are meshing the Havana style and the Matanzas stye Guanguanco simultaneously on the three drums and they mesh very melodiously perfect. You are a genius. Gracias mi hermano.
For a wile now, I have been following your instructional videos and they are by far the best on the Tube. Just recently I went to your Candela sight....I got to say "Tremenda música used toca mi Hermano" I wish you where in Miami para disfrutar esa orquesta.....Saludos y que Siempre viva la salsa.....
I want to tell you how much I appreciate your time and generosity to break this down and share your craft; I am supporting your music on your website - again thank you!
@@dancepapihi maestro I got a question for you: do we use bongos in rumba style (in the tradition) ? I ask because I see on RUclips a lot of tutorials showing variations on bongos for the rumba. I do not even know if it is rhythm as I think that it is a combination of yambu guaganco y rumba Columbia. I am wrong? With respect from Paris France
vaya , im in n.y. , but I have visited the bay area and got to play at la peña and a few other spots , I cant wait to visit again , im familiar with the bay and alot of the good musicians there. ok take care brother .
good point you made about it not being the instrument , but rather the hands applied. I been playing now many years , but being a collector aswell , I spent many years spending an unreal amount of cash hording the best drums and gear. once I took playing more serius around 2000 , I learned that its a fact practice makes perfect in any situation and more so , today I can play anything and everything . by the way , thanks for sharing , you play very well , plus its a fact that even the best musicians can play no doubt , but there are very few people who have the gift to breakdown the concept of clave , timing and feel . so you can play and have a great concept on explaining it . Buen trabajo hermano !
You're awesome teacher and player! Seen ur all videos, some of them few times. Thank You! Plis make kinto de rumba videos Preferably in two parts intermediate and advanced! :-) Saludos de Polonia!
Than you. I am probably what is defined as an intermediate player. But i will follow all of your lessons, to get a better understanding of the techniques and the music
Thank you, I have been playing Afro-Cuban music on keyboard and bass for some time, and I decided I finally need to start digging deeper into the percussion parts to understand what is going on around me.
Thanks a lot, I am a bass player and I am discovering the latin sounds. Your video is awesome. It is very clear and I understood better Guanguanco. Best Regards and again, THANK YOU
+Jaime Manera Gracias Jaime! We appreciate you taking the time to watch our videos. Please be sure to subscribe to our channel for more updates and videos!
I see that little "mano secreta" action that you were doing with your LEFT hand when you played guaguancó on 3 congas (around 19:34 minutes into the video). Could you make another video explaining that hand motion? I would love to see that as I am trying to develop that movement with the left hand. Thank you and please keep making more videos! I LOVE them and mostly, THANK you for sharing your talent!
would love to see you continue this video by going into more detail on the three drum guaguanco as you played it wonderfully! I have been working on Panga's Matanzas style three drum version for quite some time but Im really loving your rendition as well and would love to have it broken down a bit more to make it easier to understand. all the best to you & thx for the great content!!
WOW! Tremenda clase magistral. Learned so much about the language between the tumba and conga. Your videos are awesome. Thank you for generously sharing your gift. -- Edwin
I really enjoyed this video, I been trying to learn this rhythm for a while now and this breaks it down very easily. I got it now. Can you make a video on Mozambique?
Mucho thanks for sharing the information of the relationship between the Guaguanco and the Clave. I have been 'in the dark' about this subject for too long. :)
Tremendo video! I could watch this for hours. Extremely well done and very informative! Would be nice to have a camera angle from the ceiling to watch how your hands are placed on the drum...
If when demonstrating rhythm patterns, the camera was above you, left and right hands would be easier to follow as they would be lined up with my drums and my hands. I guess if you wanted to face your students too, a second camera would be required. I very much enjoy the way you teach and am glad it is on RUclips so I can practice over and over.
Want to send thanks from PR . love the lessons, i went to that site in ebay to look at the conga, 11.75 " can you post where i can get the pair..thank you and God Bless...

Muy bueno el vídeo. Gracias! Tenes un vídeo de rumba en español? Saludos!
La idea es grabar todos los videos de nuevo en español. Haber cuando!
If when demonstrating rhythm patterns, the camera was above you, left and right hands would be easier to follow as they would be lined up with my drums and my hands. I guess if you wanted to face your students too, a second camera would be required. I very much enjoy the way you teach and am glad it is on RUclips so I can practice over and over.
