  • Excellent, just what I am looking for--thanks!

  • anybody knows why conga players put those things around their fingers?

  • part 2?

  • This is not Latin, this is 100% Cuban. Called Tumbao or marcha with the 3/2 clave. mambo, cha cha cha, salsa etc. No other latin Rhythm uses this fundamental. Sorry you need to call a spade a spade don't change it.

  • Tremendo.

  • EL ESTA ARRANCANDO CON LA CLAVE 3-2 LA CLAVE 2-3 SE COMIENZA CON LA MANO IZQ

  • you're very good man

  • Grande tu eres mi maestro virtual, que el Gran Espíritu te Bendiga. Ahooo.

  • Grande tu eres mi maestro virtual, que el Gran Espíritu te Bendiga. Ahooo.

  • 32 dislikes WTF?!

  • so much better than 'expert' village

  • lion king se fugo de zoo 

  • poncho you need to be more specific about the aythenticity of these fundimentals because you know there not only latin but CUBAN speak the truth as it is latin brother ponte pa la taya..!!

  • I dont think i have ever seen a cooler beard. Im not being sarcastic. Im gonna change my name to poncho and grow a beard.

  • @LesPaul4444 Agreed, that's a pretty badass beard. It's like, if Tevye had a cool twin brother, this is what his beard would look like.

  • @jjobie The Beard of Kings just screams confidence.

  • Poncho is no joke. I'll bet he could keep up with these paws, but what about the rest of you?

  • You're the Best Poncho " I've learned allot from you're video " Keep it up Brother .

  • Poncho is the man. I've never owned a set of congas but I've been wanting some for a while. I'd love to see him in concert.

  • @InfinityOE just did a couple days ago. really great experience. If he comes close to you dont hesitate to get tickets. Highly recommend it.

  • @my1972stang Oh, for sure.

  • YO NO ESTOY DE ACUERDO CON....ESA BOCONA...NI HABLA POR MI!!! el mejor trombonista del caribe q fue.....CONSIDERADO...FUE AMERICANO...BARRY ROGERS...lo q unico q falta q le metan razismo a la musica...Y LOS HERMANOS....harlow..QUE!!!

  • felicidades poncho ya me aprendi esa clave quiero seguir aprendiendo

  • superb!!

  • Yo no creo que el mero hecho de ser Latino te hace superior ni inferior . todos seres humanos podemos ser de lo mejor. es cierto que los Latinonos tenemos cracteristicas buenas como ritmo amor a la familia ect.pero no somos los uniocos. y ese tono qur tomas barracuda con los que no son de nuestra raza solo sirve para dividir y enemistar a nuestro projimo. Que viva la hermandad de las razas!!

  • La barracuda tiene un big coplejo de chip en el sholder. Es como decir que nadie que es es latino vale.

  • Poncho es buen conguero y ensena bien tambien,si no me equivoco el es de origen MExicano,he is a good one... gracias a la musica afro-Cubana...

  • love it... cheers for the video

    any latin drummer lovers check out my samba beat drum video:)

  • ke chiongon tokas 

  • Check out my video

    you will like

    just watch

    thanks!

  • Uso mucho tiempo en hablar, pudo decir lo mismo en menos palabras, y pasar a enseñar como se hace la variante con el tambor que el llama "TUMBA".

    Poncho es muy técnico, súper técnico y definido en sus ejecuciones, pero no tiene mucho sabor, es decir NO HABLA con las congas...

  • Also, there are several if not many different feels for Tumbao which are all correct in their context and with the consideration of the other section players' styles as well.

    Consistency and unity of the rhythm section players very important.

    The style Poncho plays here is somewhat "swung" and he uses the very heel of his left hand. Most will play with the palm more involved which is also a more ergonomic movement...

  • check out lot's of pro conga players on martincongahead's channel (he's the head of LP percussion) and you'll be able to compare technique.

    Now we can see many examples rather than basing our concept on just one drummer.

  • Raulparker go Fvck yourself in the ass man, get to know Poncho sanchez, research, read and the then you can maybe think on posting another of your dumbass comments.

  • Raulparker..... deberías considerar el suicidio, no tienes ni idea de lo grande y de lo que significa este Sr. para la música Latina!!! Lee un poco, pegate un googolazo pa que te enteres

  • raulparker , no tienes ni puta idea de quien es este señor ,documentate compadre antes de faltar el respeto.

  • Menos palabras para lo poco que tocas.

    Demuestra lo que sabes y deja de hablar como charlatan.

  • esta tratando de enseñarte, como esperas que lo haga solo tocando? El buen maestro se distingue por su capacidad de enseñar con pasos basicos è eficazes. si no te gusto la lecciòn, y solo deseas escuchar la musica ve COMPRA el disco y deja de criticar lo que obviamente ni conoces.

  • @Raulparker si tocas una decima parte de lo que toca este señor, cosa que dudo bastante, sube un video tuyo para quitarme el sombrero. Por el momento solo se que eres un venao bocalarga que no sabe quien es Poncho Sanchez.

  • cono.. que cantidad de trapo en los dedos pero es de los pioonero pana

  • poncho the best

  • por que es americano.

  • Poncho will be at the Conga Room tonight!

    This was a very clear video.

  • is there a part 2 of this vid?

    especially at the end...

  • Que microfonos son los que usa poncho ??

  • Unos que transmiten sonido...

  • creo que son los audix D1,D2 y D4 para la super tumba. suenan muy bien. otros micros que recomiendo para tumbas son los SHURE BETA 56A.. saludos!

  • Hey muchas gracias, si masomenos pense q serian audix pero no estava seguro, y esos beta que dices si me los han recomendado mucho, bueno yo tengo una conga y una tumba, teia pensado usar unos SM57 pero no se si suene mejorcon los beta ! me podrias aconsejar, gracias por la ayuda colega :)

  • Gracias RESAGOLIRA = )

  • mmm.. en mi opinion suenan mejor los beta.. el sm57 es muy bueno tambien. pero yo lo prefiero ya sea para tarolas, o amplis de guitarra. para eso es perfecto!! pero tambien sonaran muy bien y son las economicos! saludos

  • Who makes those Congas they sound great....Thanks for this video very helpful

  • Those are Remo congas... sweet video

    thanks for sharing.....:)

  • Thank you so much for considering us LEFT handers. It means a lot!

  • agreed.:D

  • thanx for the video it helped me more

  • New Conga rap musica @ BomberZwiz channel !!!

  • Mongo SantaMaria is the Pele Of Afro-Latin Percussion! He has no competition! No EQUAL! stop Calling it Latin exclusively.. the Drum is From Africa. The Drum is the Blackest Reprensentation of African Blood! all Afro-Latin rhythms are old Ancient Afrikan rhythms from thousands of years ago...even the dances are African.. the Africans who were made Slaves by the Spanish were forced to dance and they had on chains... The Latin soul is an African SOul! and i am ambos sangres! Peace to all..

  • Thank you to all who acknowledged the origins. I play finger-style bodhran, a traditional Irish frame drum. I'm trying to incorporate elements of African/Arab/Indian/Latin percussion technique into my playing to expand my palette.

    I'll take everything of value from this video and keep on stepping without leveling criticism at the player.

    Thanks for sharing Gordanius!

  • This is like Latinbizlinks

  • Lee, bestia. Fundamentos de la música """""latina""""" ....

  • visit my page . remix ass reggae session 2008

  • azcaine69 nada mas la pura pinche envidia de que su sangre no tiene el calor latino pinche gringo pendejo

    por mucho que estudies nunca vas a lograr igualar el toque latino

    con eso solo nosotros nacemos

    no hay nada mas chingon que ser latino!!!!

  • @mexicanbarracuda,

    que anormal, el es latino. lo conosco, es Poncho Sanchez, si no sabes quien es has estado biviendo debajo de una roca!

  • ANORMAL??? Y MEDIO...

  • my last comment was directed at Azkaine69, pinche puto pendejo.

  • Thanks really helped me for a newbie!

  • me parece que los golpes de palma y punta de dedos no estan bien aplicados, en mi opinion .

    igualmente bueno el video..

  • What a shame that Europeans have such a hang up with color. Most of us tune in to learn something about and appreciate the music. Don't ruin the groove with your ignorance. Music no matter who performs it has no color.

  • i like flowers

  • dude! we know the setup! we're not monkeys! we want to learn how to play! so start playing.

  • The percussion in "Latin" music is of African descent. The style of singing in decimas is of Spanish descent as are some of the stringed instruments. Other influences are the French Contradance and Jazz. The whole concept was put together in Spanish speaking countries (Latinos) mostly Cuba and Puerto Rico. That is why it is called Latin music.

  • If you hadn't made such a stupid comment, I would take the time help you understand.

  • Latin is a name used to refer to all people of Latin origin including the Spanish, Italians, French and Portuguese. So people of the Americas with the same background are also called Latin or Latinos.

  • um.. south american people AAAARE!! latinos you assmunch!! the word LATINO it's an ambiguous term used to refer people who is Spanish-Speaking or Latin American descent!!!...

    but only to people from center, south america and the caribbean!!! colombia, venezuela, argentina, peru, bolivia, chile, uruguay, mexico, nicaragua, guatemala, puerto rico, rep. dominicana, cuba, viequez, culebra!! and the others ARE LATINO PEOPLE!!

    dumb hillbilly!! come down from the mountain some other time so you learn

  • "Conga" is actually a Cuban beat, not a drum.. played on a tumbao. The Azteca were playing the huehuetl drum long before the European came around with his greed and diseases; the same idiot who named the ingigenous people "Indians" and the land south of the USA "Latin America." And who are you calling niggers??

  • So you agree this is not latin music...

  • I agree that you're a bigot and an idiot.

  • how stupid and ignorant can u be. wow dude how can someone so stupid still be alive. haha

  • he plays mambo.. we invented mambo latinos..us.. pendejo!!!

  • He is a living legend, and a wonderful individual. I have seen him perform up close and personal. I also love most of his arrangements, he has great rhythm and harmony.

  • mama

  • This is not Mambo but Son Tumbao.Dr. Zaragemca

  • Some people talk shit just for the sake of talking. Poncho might not be Pedrito Martinez or Anga or Gio. But he is a solid player with a nice groove. Poncho was the conguero for Cal Tjader and Cal had played with the best. Ache pa' Poncho!

  • Thanks...Peace

  • About the tape on the fingers, Have any of you critics heard of Mongo Santamaria.(period)

    Who made you critics an authority on the subject of tumbadoras anyway?

    Keep practicing and quit critisizing,

    Karma is gonna nip you in the butt!!

    Latinos Unidos..

    United we stand divided we fall...

  • on the contrary im saying he's good

    and that was a good critic not a bad one

    cojelo con take it easy :)

  • Con todo respeto hermano, alguien escribio algo de "enmomiarse los dedos", tambien otros tipos estan hablando de tecnica.

    Que se ponen a practicar y que se terminan de bochinchear!

  • yo nadamas pregunte porque el ta usando teipe si ta usando cuero syntetico ...y antes de eso dije que me encanto este video poncho sanchez es un excelente conguero !

    cojelo con take it easy :)

  • Poncho tiene muchos an~os tocando y el toca super duro, ya le operaron los dedos, asi que el tiene que tocar asi.

    Latinos Unidos..

  • What a good teacher. I finally figured it out!

  • no entiendo el odio hacia Poncho Sánchez. Percusionistas como Hidalgo, Barreto, Cachete y otros tal vez estén en otro nivel pero Poncho no es un chongo. Además su aportación al jazz latino es innegable. Entiendo que no sea su preferido pero se debe respetar su aportación a la música.

    Y el video está bueno para principiantes como yo.

  • Postea un video tuyo y veremos si tienes autoridad para criticar Bigpercusion

  • para bigper.... mira panita respeta a los maestros esos q nombras la mayoria es de la nueva generacion, porsupuesto es otro nivel pero igual ese nivel se debe a maestros como poncho sanchez

  • BIGPERCUSIION, YOU NEED TO GET THE PONCHO SANCHEZ LATIN JAZZ BAND's CD, "CAMBIOS". I'M SURE IT WILL MAKE CHANGE YOUR MIND.

  • Postea un video o un disco tuyo Bigpercusion

  • Sure thing. But no one has responded yet...

  • basta de durezas entre hermanos, no es guerra todos tiene derecho a una opinion que los mas musicos ayuden y leseras que las hablen los novicios

  • poncho nos vemos en steamers de fullerton CA ojala que ahora si cantes el shi- nalin

  • Hola! soy pianista, me encanta tocar percusion tambien, toco poco de congas y bongos y todo tipo de percusion, donde conseguistes este video necesito todo el video completo, vivo en los Angeles, California.

  • Yo quiero aprender conga, por cierto donde estan los videos de Tiburonnext menos bla bla bla y ponga leccion como el maestro Poncho

  • más respeto con Poncho, tiburonnext, se nota que eres un pendejo, todos los congueros hemos escuchado a Sanchez y hemos adquirido algo de inspiración de él asi como de otros. Además el estilo es sencillo, no se complica la vida, suena sabroso y eso es lo que vale. no se de qué bases hablas...los parches en los dedos??? jajaj ridículo.

  • no es la tecnica que cuenta si no el sonido que se ase en el tambor,ese es su forma de aser ese sonido y todo los percusionistas tienen diferente estilo

  • señoras y señores les presento a tiburonnext, el mejor conguero del mundo, ánda ya!!! lo único que tienes es envidia de poncho, pues él ha logrado una exitosa carrera y seguramente serás uno del montón, ya que los malos percusionistas intentar tapar sus carencias con soberbia. un consejo: sé un poco más humilde y ponte a mejorar en vez de criticar a la gente

  • Good lesson!!! nicely also integrated with the clave. Check my PercussionChannel for more variations on this rhythm.

  • bien poncho

  • There are times that a conga player can get carried out by the music and not even feel the pain in the hands. I am a percussionist myself there have been times when my fingers got pretty banged up and even cut.

  • That's exactly why Poncho tapes his fingers. As a conguero myself, I've beaten the heck out of my fingers during some serious playing. I've seen congueros wo have fingers that look like overcooked hot dogs--that is, split down the middle--because they've torn up their fingers when they tear up the congas.

    I've tried tapin' my fingers but to me the adhesive tape gets in the way...but if it's good enough for Pancho, bro', I might give it a second shot!

  • I think Poncho Sanchez is a GOD!!! Is he self taught? Excellent.

  • For those of you criticizing the great Poncho Sanchez, you need to realize that not everyone plays with identical techniques. Especially those who are self-taught like he is. This is jazz music, not the

    Boston Symphony! So what if he doesn't do it the way you were taught! Poncho Sanchez is one of the greatest congueros ever.

  • What have you done for Latin Jazz that you can teach us the correct way?...

  • You are missing the point. I am not flaming. Good sound yes, great licks etc yes. Good technique, no-(but it does not matter he sounds great) Good teacher - No. Are you an expert Conguero? Who have you studied with?

  • I never said I was an expert, and you have been missing the point of this video. Who are you to judge technique is my question? I have not studied conga but Giovanni Hidalgo, Mongo Santamaria (R.I.P), and Poncho Sanchez have been friends of my family since before I was born. Personally knowing these masters, all I know is that I doubt anyone who has been commenting on this about technique is probably not a world renowned teacher or artist. Point is your not qualified to make that statement.

  • I don't mean any disrespect derbeno, I'm just stating the facts. I don't even know if my initial response comment was for you, I was responding to someone who stated Poncho's sound was old and the new artists are on top and how we all must evolve. Apologizes if it got shot to you.

  • This video is great! Suenan bien esas congas!

  • arnedomi jajaja deberno jajaja rqshquesada jajajaja,,,you dont have a clue man

  • Unbelievable!! So many f... idiots are sharing their opinions here! This is a short, but good and useful lesson for BEGINNERS...

  • lol, yea people, beanstaco is right. this guy is actually a beast. no joke
