First Conga lesson

A nice way to meet for the first time, the basic conga sounds and movements. This and more movies are also published on the iTunes Store (search for "Bracumba") or can be found on the site http://www.percussieschool.nl ( http://www.djembeworkshop.info )

who taught you that lesson??

[johanaben]

@InfoRoom I got it from a great video lesson from Richie Gajate-Garcia. It hit me as really fundamental, so I try to pass that on.

[InfoRoom]

@johanaben You are a great teacher. The reason I ask was because that same lesson I took from the brother of El Nino Alfonso from Irakere..and they never made any instructional material and that was the first lesson he gave me..Tato and El Nino were incredible Congueros from Irakere..

@InfoRoom Thank you for sharing that. That really assures me, and maybe others, that an exersice like this wil help in building a good foundation for further development on the conga's. Go well and happy drumming !
