  • The melody is more interesting

  • just look at this.......this is not human!!!!!!!

  • SIMPLEMENTE.... EL MEJOR-....

  • I'm a drummer as well, and i can tell u, hes good, in fact, the best iv seen thus far........

  • He is Great conga player but playing fast does'nt meant you are The Best ....to be a Percussion Master you have to play with knowledge all African Rythms and instrument of percussion like Bata, Timbales, Bongoes, Chekeres,etc....playing fast is not the point .....look for JRCsatellanos.con and you can see a Real Master .....Giovanni is very good but playins faster does'nt meant he is the Best

  • A la hora del Solo, Se le agüito el Payasin al Saxofonero !

  • He swings the time amazingly!

  • es un tesoro de virtudes...Giovanni Dios te guarde....la rapidez, sin perder la belleza y el sentimiento de cada golpe....eso es ser un virtuoso de verdadddd..plomo a la buena musicaa!!!! bravo rumberooooo!!!!

  • mader de dios sois lomejoers

  • Como Camaron para el flamenco, Ali para el Boxeo, Elvis para el Rock o Maradona para el Futbol, asi es el gran Giovanni Hidalgo para la percursion, es y sera siempre el mejor que tenga esta tierra, Grande Giovanni te merezes lo mejor.

  • @miquelgabarre que razón llevas amigo es un maquinon y lo seguirá siendo.

    Saludos.

  • Grande Gianni!!! Velocissimo e bravissimo!!!

  • This is exactly why Giovanni is my favorite percussionist; genius at work!!!

  • Uno de mis solos Favoritos...

  • esto es simplemente una demostracion de lo que con dedicacion y el amor por la musica se puede lograr,ser o no el mejor no lo decide uno mismo,pero no se4 puede dejar de admirar a los mas grandes que hay, bravo por el maestro giovanni y muchos otros mas, por las enseñanzas que nos dejan a los que vamos empezando, gracias y que dios los bendiga....

  • siete anos le tomo ese concepto a hidalgo con el maestro CHANGUITO en cuba,, sin duda ..es muy bueno y con sentimiento y manana

  • omg, este man es un dios.

  • no se x que se pelean x estas estupideces si al final de cuentas la musica es para divertir el alma y cuando tu puedes tocar y disfrutar la musica no se trata de quien es mejor pues todos tenemos estilos diferentes se trata de expreciones del alma y no de una competencia

  • giovanni è sempre il numero uno... non ci sono parole.

  • A ti parece que te gusta que te den pinga cubana, ya te tumbe el plante en el otro tema de Aguanile con Marc Anthony y ahora vienes aqui a cojer mas. Que puta eres.

  • Y con respecto a Alberto Pablo si no entiendes lo que esta haciendo entonces el ignorante eres tu. Cuando un conguero toca 5 congas y las hace sonar como 5 es una jodienda pero el reto es darle a dos y hacerlas sonar como 5. Vete pa' la escuelita en la guagua chica, imbecil.

  • todos mis respetos maestro giovani idalgo

  • the best of all time !!!

  • acere 58, I think that you want to make a pr vs cuba battle.

  • Photolense: I guess that you are selectively reading. I gave credit to some PR musicians and also discredited some Cuban musicians. Never meant to make it a PR vs. Cuba battle. Sorry you took it that way.

    Regards

  • not just fast.......listen to the phrases .......likes songs in themselves.....not just fast.....lets get a deeper understanding...controlled, precise, in the form the song.....listen to the music....accents all over the place...GENIUS so many levels at once. I met him.....he mentioned practicing on wood...slowly and carefully....this sensitizes your touch , builds styrength , and control......speed comes gradually with these other elements.

  • jojo exelente video rud lo mire 784 veces increible la magia que hay en estos tipos...

    salute

  • OMG....this is a really awesome solo....I wanna play the congas so bad....(btw I did check out Pedrito but I'm still a Giovanni fan)

  • Gio's the best! How can anyone be that fast?

  • Here's the secret on how you get fast Sovora77....PRACTICE JERKOFF! (Just kidding) And the fact that he's been playing since he was 3 years old. Oh yeah...he's also a 4th generation percussionist. There's your answer!

  • Sovora77:

    Fast doesn't make you the best.

  • Realmente un grande!!!

  • I totally agree w/ acere58 & jrmaxx. it's all a matter of opinion & taste. The baddest conguero for me is definitely PEDRITO MARTINEZ. He even sings while he soloing. Check him out!!!

  • Davizao12:

    Pedrito is a monster and truly knowledgeble of all Afrocuban rythms and drumming traditions.

  • Davizao12:

    You might want to check the video "Alberto Pablo en las tumbadoras " right here on Youtube.

  • vi la porqueria de video del alberto pablo ese.......y no compara para nada con giovanni.......tu eres un ignorante.....de lo unico que tu sabes es de las comidas de culo de fidel

  • frsantiago: Aqui todo se habia discutido con respeto pero ya vienes a cagar este tremendo video con tus pendejases de Cuba vs. PR y comentarios de Fidel. De que yo no crea que Gio es el mejor o no, han sido mis opiniones. Solo dije que en PR y en Cuba los hay no necesariamente mejores, pero con mas afinque y tiempo, pero en ningun momento le falte el respeto a nadie aqui. Pero ahora te puedes ir pal carajo, maricon. El resto de los leyentes por favor me disculpan.

  • grande giovanni grandeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeee

  • Nice !

  • Como toca Berroa, que fraseos dios mio

  • Вот-это перец!!!!!!!!!!!

  • papi , giovanni rules! hoy en dia no hay nadie mejor en las congas que giovanni. en la historia han habido grandes congueros y tienen mi respeto por el legado y la influencia que han ejercido en la nueva generacion de congueros , pero hoy en dia, nadie como giovanni, es de mi barrio.

  • great music!

  • There's a conguero percussionist in the making right now that will evolve from having seen Gio and also impress and evolve my 2,3 and 4yr old rumberos.

  • Con respeto to all of you and you have all fine points and reasons to discuss. Did you ever come to think just for a moment that! Gio is an evolution of all the drummers you mention. Just as some of you are evolutions of some of your mentors? Tata, Papin,Patato,Armando P,Mongo are all influences that develop us as soon as we hear them or see them or study them for the 1st time and on. They all have a place and a mark to make for the study they have chosen.

  • Very difficult to say who is best in any instrument unless they sit side by side and one just absolutely takes another to school. Usually we let personnal taste tell us who is best ( and that could be right or wrong). I think Gio is one of the best ever when it comes to technique and drumming skills but not when it comes to time and playing in a groove. IMO Tata Guines was the king.

  • Giovanni is specific in every hit in this solo and in every solo I have seeing him do. His sense of timing is flawless. No matter what you personal taste is the truth is the truth. On the congas he is the best. The great Anga recognize it too when alive. Cuba and the whole world adores and respect Giovanni. We all should just quiet down, Quit the competition -that doesn't exist between them masters- and listen, watch and learn from this amazing musician. peace!

  • Sorry my friend but Master Candido was the best ever congero

  • muz I agree with you muz, geo is so advance and so fast we cant understand what he is doing. anga put him down 1 of the greatest. but i dont think THEY WILL BE another geo, undisputable the best congero ever GEOVANNI HIDALGO

  • Respeto la opinion de todo el mundo. Pero mi opinion es que GIovanni es mejor conguero del mundo. THE BEST!......BRAVO GIOVANNI!@

  • Piano, ñooo ese es Danilo ?

    como que se monta y sale y entra despues ñooo del carajo mano.. que obra maestra la de ustedes... Giovani eres lo maximo

  • lo cierto es que el hombre toca y el que quiera opinar lo contrario que demuestre lo q sabe si es conguero y si no no opinen xq a los maestros se respetan

  • Genial. Alguien sabe como se llama este tema, o cual es el nombre del grupo o del album?

  • Se llama "suite for congas"....creo que era solo una pieza para el video. El grupo no tiene nombre. David Sanchez en el Sax, Danilo Perez on Piano, John Benitez on Bass, Ignacio Berroa on drums, and the animal himself el gran Gio!

  • Es cierto que Giovanni Hidalgo prefiere las congas tradicionales construidas en Cuba a las Lp?? Alguien sabe?? o es solo un mito urbano?? Y porque nunca lo vemos usando la Lp Compact Conga?? Yo la he tocado y no me ha gustado mucho que digamos

  • Giovanni has his own line of LP congas. Check it out on the LPmusic . com web site. I've never heard of that mito urbano.

    As for the LP Compact Conga, it's good for carrying in your car, in case you get an unexpected chance to jam with a band (rather than carting around the real thing). It's good to use as a third or fourth conga, if you don't own more than 2. It really sounds pretty good, considering. Watch the video of Giovanni playing one on the LP site.

  • Big Upz to da Drummer.. SOunded GReat Nice Songo!! Johny is a BEast menG!! WOW!! worlds BEst COngero.. GOd Bless u GUyz!!!

  • El mismo contra golpeo y los tapao y ponches los mismo es mas rapides que otra cosa,hay congueros que quintean mas que hidalgo anga en se lo lleva amplio y tataguines ni hablar, es un gran percusionista hidalgo pero se va fuera de ritmo en muchas ocasiones por imponer rapides para mi actual mente me quedo con el maestro la mole mas completo

  • Vaya Alfre! Carajo yo creia que el unico que se daba cuenta de eso era yo. Se le va el tiempo y a menudo, por eso siempre esta de solista porque no tienen afinque para tocar con una orquesta continuamente. Saludos!

  • I'm sorry guys, but I have to say that Gio never goes off beat. Solo es que Gio es tan pero tan inteligente e avansado que aveces no entendemos las cosas que el hace. Pero yo me sente con el un dia, y me explico varias cosas que no entendi. Giovanni es el mas completo y el mas intelligente papa. Es un genio mas avansado que cualquier otro percusionista del mundo. Como puedes decir que no afinque???!!! Pregunta a los grandes de la percusion y todos te van a decir que Gio es el que es.

  • Bro: You are entitled to your opinion and I respect it. But to me Gio is like Gonzalo Rubalcava, they might be so far ahead that they are not in it. His technique and ability might (or not ) be the best but his groove is not. But that is just my opinion and a matter of personnal taste. Regards

  • I disagree with you Acere, but thnk you for being respectful and discussing things in a friendly matter. As for Joe: I respect your comment as well, but I alsodisagree. I am a drummer and I studied both maestro Anga and Giovannis' stlyes. Gio "to me" is more graceful and cleaner. When Anga does his double strokes they come out sloppy, but if you watch Gio everything is picture perfect and effortless. And Gio has gone to Cuba many timesand when he sits down to play, the rumberos stay quiet.

  • Vaya MuziqlovrPR. With respect discussions teach us many things. I am also a drummer and studied in both Cuba and my second country PR. Whether Gio plays cleaner than Anga or not I think it's a toss up. My post was not meant to take away his athletisism on the skins which is fantastic but his sense of timing.

  • There was a joke in PR that Gio got kicked out of PR for playing too fast :) Even in this video after the 1 min mark his goes nuts , same in the Calle 54 video. If you listen to Anga he stays in time. And Tata forget it. I appreciate Gio's virtuosity but my likes is more towards guys that played and got to you. Like Patato, Chano, Sabu, Mongo etc.

    Salud

  • Sorry bro, Anga no puede con este ni un poquito, y lo sabia. Todo los percussionistas saben que Giovanni es el que es, sin duda. Preguntale a el mismo Mole. En Cuba los musicos lo respectan mucho, especialmente los percusionistas. Gio puede meterse en cualquier rumba y acabar con el. Por Dios mi hermano, hay que dar credito a quien se merece. Gio ....#1

  • Demasiado Bueno este mae, practica muy bien el estilo musical///

  • SENCILLAMENTE BESTIAL...!!!!

  • Juega Manenguito!

  • this is a great solo, thanks for posting it. if you like drum solos you should check out Zakir Hussain.

  • Man, as a conguero myself I know it is easy to say, "Giovanni is all speed" . Man, that the easy excuse we are all nowhere near the chops he has, even thought we practice the double strokes and all that ourselves. The truth is Gio is the best "new" congeuro on the scene.

  • I get physically exhausted watching this solo.....dam Gio how do you do it?????

    #1 in the world....and easily!

  • Suite para congas Rolota!!!!

  • magnifico

  • Tremendo maestro que edad tendria Gio ???

    bnusquen a JOSE FEBRE Y comparen tb es bueno .

  • anyone else think that those congas are tuned kinda low? just something i noticed.

  • it's so incredible that even though that was a great performance, someone will still find something to hate on haha. you can't touch his congas so you'll say he's overdressed, who cares what he looks like? your watching that for the music right? i mean i can't imagine you looked up giovanni conga solo in order to say he's overdressed. haha youtube users crack me up sometimes.

  • Really Great!!! But he is a bit Overdressed ;-)

  • Giovanni siempre sera la eminencia de las congas. Orgullo de Puerto Rico.

  • giovanni "mañenguito" lo maximo! the master of congas! dios te bendiga gio!

  • wepa Giovanni jovenn en este videoo, tremendo conguero wow...

  • amazing, the rhythm this guy has!!!!!wow!!

  • I know. He makes it look easy!
