I was lucky enough to study from Javier last year. He is an amazing YOUNG conguero, who plays a wide variety of percussion instruments. I really believe he is one of the premiere percussionists of my generation.

If you gays want to see what could be done with one conga go to my video,(as Dr. Zaragemca),and also see my Mozambique variaion).Dr. Zaragemca

Oye Javier !

This is beautiful man !! My name is Pete and I studied with Angel in PAWS in L.A. for 4 years (never got beyond the intermediate level). I now live in Ithaca, NY where I teach engineering at Cornell. We're starting a small afrocuban percussion community here (none of us are really good) and we hope that once we get things rolling, we can hopefully convince you to come up here for a workshop some day.

A CHE !

Pete

I love the melody and harmony of his playing!

[gulictba]

the man isn real good, but the 3 congas not surprises. he could try again, whit some other instruments, like an bongo or a talking drum

[Drummerboy139703]

he isnt real good, he went to juilliard you fucking tool, haha whats your resume like? start listing you hating wanna be. javier is the shit, i know him personally, you fucking vulture.

[marcostoys]

Tell him Drummerboy! Great playing!!

[TONYRT925]

yea bitch

[gulictba]

sorry, is just my opnion. i didnt want to offend anyone. A constructive opnion. A real music player need some bad critics too. The guy play really good, i know. but (in my opnion) the 3 kongas don't surprise.

[lwzeis]

the kongas dont surprise? i guess some retard with 4 kongas instead of 3 would be more surprising? you are not an intelligent person.

[droydbr]

ok.. im fucking sorry. its my opnion, you don´t need to agree, and really no need to be so rude. I live in Brazil, where everyone already saw someone playing tree kongas. But i understand that someone who don´t live here (or in other country that have a strong percussion culture) to be suprised.

Bixa Louca.

ok, i guess that was a little harsh. i didnt realize you were from brazil (language barrier). i thought you were an ignorant 12 year old american trying to marginalize the instrument by calling them unsurprising. i apologize. it would be more entertaining for any percussionist to have 3 drums instead of 2, 4 instead of 3, etc. but what matters is diaz is great and he's just using 3 kongas to demonstrate some of his technique for a video, not to entertain a crowd.

[gulictba]

in that last point we both agree. He's really good.

------------------------------­---

Sorry but.. You are wrong, If he chooses to play just 1 drum, more power to him, a real good timbero can make I drum sound like 2 or 3. Study the work of Tommy Lopez and Papo Pepin before you make such a comment.

Unite dont Divide...

[gulictba]

ok, i'm sorry. i really didn't mean that.
