    with all my respect to those hands, remember bongos are a cuban instrument and it has a tradicional way to be played. This guy is adapting others rythms from other intruments to the bongo (which is ok) but the tradition is essential and i didn´t see any of that in this performance!

      I hear what you're saying. My take on this is that the place where he's playing it's kind of just an interlude. He plays in between two very popular spots for the tourists and it's not so much a performance in and of itself but people are just literally walking by. I hope that makes any sense at all.

    • @strongangel
      @strongangel 3 года назад +1

      @@MessOfThings Makes a lot of sense - Thanks. .... I play live bongos every day (busk with them) - apart from days when it is bucketing down. Yes, it is hard to get feeling to the sound when the crowd is loud so to speak, but I find the best route is not to indulge patterns for any great length of time and to switch tempo up and down, so that the sound does not become monotonous. "Ogham Script" is ideal for Bongo or Congo players as a notation tool. Ogham was originally designed as notation for harp or drums as well as a general writing tool, and using Ogham allows the user to speak with the drums, allowing for a lot more variation with the drum tones than is found in standard patterns.
