  • @orishadance I agree with you totally........but i also think that the lack of real drums made it what it is, assuming that there weren't any. Sango the Orisa of dance and the owner of the BATA DRUM. I feel that when dancing, especially for the orisas, real drums should be used instead of backing tracks.

  • @ orishadance. Must agree with u.

    Thx for the fb group info.

  • Personally, I would find a very experienced, Cuban teacher (at least 10-15 years or more) who teaches you what each movement represents, how each is linked to a specific rhythm (e.g., chacha lokufon, iyesa), and how to listen for rhythmic changes. I would recommend joining the "We Love Afro-Cuban Dance" group on Facebook. I can also recommend specific teachers, but the ones I know best are in the U.S. I hope this helps and I'm glad for your interest and respect!

  • whoa, is that really so? sounds great :) Where should I look for sources of such knowledge?

  • I disagree. Sure, he's using movements associated with Chango, but they are completely unrelated to what's happening rhythmically. Each rhythm has steps/movements associated with it. You must respect the drum. And c'mon, he's representing Chango of all Orishas!!!

  • Wow! Not bad for european
