WHOA!! the KING of BONGO!!

[boilerplate7]

I saw him in Seattle 1965 in a club with some army pals. All I can say is thank God for the girft of Mongo

[dombinii]

ademas es interesante saber la vida de un gran musico creador de piezas musicales no??

[dombinii]

la importancia de eso, es saber sobre los grandes musicos

y no es necesaio poner otras cosas para tirar mierda diciendo que eresw de una isla del caribe, que eso si es lo a todos no vale verga

[dragohiphop]

sinceramente creo que el primer afro que apareció podria perfectamente realizar toda una funcion solo sin ayuda de nadie...se pude ver que tiene mucho talento al igual que cualquier afro , esto no es una discriminacion a los blancos por que incluso yo soy blanco pero admiro el talento que tienen los afro para realizar un ritmo con cualquier instrumento...pero tambien no se deve discriminar a los demas integrantes del grupo porque hacen una gran funcion todos juntos

[CharlieKendallMusic]

Hey guys please check out the interpretation of this song on my channel! I'd like to hear your opinion!

[ilovemesomexaque]

Bob Quaranta is a fucking god.

[neutrinocaldo74]

Encantado de esuchar esta musica sublime....

Muchas gracias.

[NININA5836]

Me pregunto...

¿ Cual es a importancia de donde nacieron, se criaron, desarrollaron, se destacaron, triunfaron ?

Yo nací en una de esas islas del Caribe Sabroso, y me da igual eso de que donde nacieron fulano, sutano o mengano.

El caso es que son buenos y hay que disfrutarlos.

Con el nacionalismo, me limpio el trasero, y regularmente queda bien limpio.

Salud.

@NININA5836 no importa de dónde venimos, sino adónde vamos...

[pdiaz1968]

Besides Mongo, Isn't that Tito Puent on timbales.

[PolarSlushCap]

Yeah, 3.5-minute conga solo!

[andmusico]

este es el afro blue de michel camilo?????

[Saxophone1590]

No.....I ask from John Coltrane

[Historymusical]

No es ni de Michel Camilo, ni de John Coltrane, la composicion es del Conguero Cubano, Mongo Santamaría.

"Afro Blue", después hizo una version unica, sorprendente e insuperable con Tito Puente (Timbal), Dave Valentin (Flauta), Paquito De Rivera (Sax), Ignacio Berroa (Bateria), Michel Camilo (Piano), Giovany Hidalgo (2da conga), Andy Gonzáez (Bajo)...aché.

[NININA5836]

Para maestro de historia, usted sería un fenómeno.

Salud.

[Historymusical]

Gracias por el cumplido.

Y siga gozando al ser mas fenomenal en las congas, el grandiosísimo Mongo Santamaría. "Jesús - María" (La Habana) Barrio de Rumberos, como Mongo, Patato y su amigo y mentor Chano Pozo..aché

[learsiesoj]

Y como se llama esa increible version con todos esos dioses???

[Historymusical]

Busca el Album " Tito Puente: Golden Latin Jazz All Stars - Live At Villaget Gate ".Consigues ese álbum gratis en la página Latin Jazzoteca.

El cuarto tema es el tremendo Afro - Blue, un deleite en cuanto a instrumentación: Hilton Ruiz, Mongo, Puente, Paquito D' Rivera, Andy González, Berroa, G.Hidalgo, etc.

Que disfrutes a esos dioses !!! ...aché

[greati9]

[Carcarbink]

[greati9]

Que es calidad? Ya amo eso albanzana, muy bien y mongo santamaria tocan las kongas muy bein. Por lo tanto, todo en todo esto albanza es perfecto.

[papyrifer]

Wow! What a great version of this song! Amazing drums of course, but the piano comping and the sax on that sax solo are amazing!

[greati9]

i think the saxophone player is using circular breathing.

[HippieDrummer06]

@greati9 what's that?

[danieljones013]

@HippieDrummer06

circular breathing is when at the same time as blowing out the instrrument he breaths through his nose so there is a continuus flow of air and he can sustain the note indefinately

[HippieDrummer06]

@danieljones013 that is fucking awesome dude. I wonder how long it takes to develop that, i mean those jazz cats smoked a lot too

[diegoaalzate]

sabor latino señores

[rocknchef]

cubanito,que bueno suenas! rip....cubanito,tambiem.love

[Kloakenmensch]

I miss coltranes´ Sopran :(

[YUKTRSWAR]

Love Mongo, grew up listing to him, he was one of my mentors.When I was a kid I wanted to play the conga's like him. We use to see him at the California club in LA when he was playing with Cal Jader and Willie Bobo it was the best.One of the best solo's I think Mongo played was Afro Blue with Cal Jader Hard to find.God Bless You Mongo where ever you are.

[jgarcia1237]

Mongo was the greatest! I was so fortunate to have had the privilage of making his last 3 red congas after his was stolen, that I'm honored. Poncho has a set, and there was over 200 of my drums made. But the Santamarias Cuban style Congas ( I'm the only one he gave permission to use his name, thanks to my friend, Ramon Pacheco from Denver. Wow, He was great. And beleive me it wasn't the drums it was him. Jose Garcia

[mimolesta]

[jgarcia1237]

So many great Conga drummers..but Mongo was beyond great. His sound, his style the things he said while playing are..no words can describe him. Jose Garcia
