Sounds just like tabalas & djembes mixed... this was awesome... this should have turned into a concert... & when i say a concert... mean a huge concert
nice unlike many bongo drummers he has a rhythm and can keep it going. I live very close to sf and hope i can see more people on the streets playing bongos
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!
Lmao stfu. Man’s playing normal percussion style and isn’t some tryhard Afro-Cuban wannabe boomer whiteboy like you. Nobody cares about salsa anymore, you just mad cuz he playing real music on his own.
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.
@@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.
A good friend of mine. See him, All year round in SF Pier.
Thumps up if you would like to see more of him 👍
The definition of non-traditional bongo playing...he has a kind of darbuka style...awesome

Excellent performance
Now that would take years of practice, the finger rolls he was doing is incredible and so is his timing 👍.
He’s a bum so it’s all he does. Man’s a professional.

Omg who cares
obviously you don´t!
@@licenciadoensentidocomun70 "Tradition is essential" No it isn't.. That takes away the music from everything else.
@@johnmedrano7529 right?! people need to chill tf out, there's no rules to music
Bongos Cuban instrument? By way of Africa the motherland
Too busy....
You mean the people? I agree, but i stepped back and shot it that way on purpose to show the feel of the busiest tourist attraction in San Francisco
He can keep a beat but he knows nothing of bongo theory
This is true.
"Bongo Theory" TM

Lots of rhythm, no soul. Not knocking, just would like to have heard more being said.
What????
@@robin9031 Are you able to elucidate? Btw, I play exactly the same set of Meinl - with Ogham the language used.
...?
