How to Play the Conga (Complete Lesson)

As a Dance & Guitar Teacher, I found that learning other instruments enhances your Musical abilities in many ways.

Congas are one of those instruments that are the most important in Latin Music.

So I decided to make a complete detail lesson on an easy Introduction how to play them.

Musicians and Dancers alike can benefit from understanding the structure of this instrument and how it is played.

Hope you enjoy this lesson and await for more exiting lessons to come on many other type of wonderful Musical Instruments! ;)

HAHA! LOVE IT! :)

Glad you finally got it in.

I believe this will also help the folks (like me) who are learning guitar with their timing. As a learnier, I find that is one of the most difficult things - Rumba beat particularly needs to be on time. I can get the notes and chords, but unless the timing is right - it does not make music.

Thank you Alexandros.
