Cha Cha Cha Bongo Basic Martillo Oye Como Va w 2/3 Clave

My second take on Bongos and a tribute to Youtube members bongonceros & percussionist. This is a basic martillo variation, which is the heart of bongo pattern. Shout outz to bongorilao (Gary), mdubuque (Matt), Alabubba (Bob) and the Bongo Group for their great tips. I've only been practing when I have free time, which most of that free time is spent on Salsa. So people if it gets annoying, shut it down or watch my Salsa Videos. I'm only a beginner but most of all I'm a salsa dancer inspiring percussionist. This pattern reminds me of the popular song Oye Como Va by Santana and other various salseros such as Celia Cruz y L.A. Mambo Combo or Soul Sauce (Guachi Guaro) by Cal Tjader. Thanks and enjoy the cha cha cha pattern.

Hey, JazzyJez--

what's there to get annoyed about? Ya gotta start somewhere, bro'!. The roll at the end could be a bit tighter, but you'll get tighter with practice...the martillo sounds clean and you're in sync with the piano...

Lookin' forward to hearin' more from you...and Matt (mdubuque) and Gary (bongorilao) are great guys to watch and learn from!

Another of your bongo brothers,

Charlie (bongomanfromdalou)

Cha cha chá was developed by composers who had played danzón and at first it was mainly played by charanga orchestras. There are parts in danzón songs that are called "cha cha chá" parts by some. The second video I pointed it is entitled "Viva el Cha Cha Cha Aragon", no clave again.

Just perform a google search and you will see that everyone agrees El Bodeguero is a typical cha cha chá. The singers also use the term. The rhythm section does not play as it would in a son - they don't use clave, for example. La Engañadora is considered by many as the first cha cha chá, and Orquesta Aragón as a very influential group in the development of the musical style.
