Hi congueros,

From Italian Congaplace I presents Shaddy's conga set:

What do the letters represent? An Italian language version of Do Re Mi Fa So La Te Do?

I did not know this:

All European and European-American children learn this when they watch this movie
"do... a deer, a female deer, re... a drop of golden sun"




"mi, a name I call myself.... fa, a long long way to run"

Nice. But unfortunately that song does not have "si" or "sol," hence the confusion.

sure it does.....

Doe, a deer, a female deer
Ray, a drop of golden sun
Me, a name I call myself
Far, a long long way to run
Sew, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow sew
Tea, I drink with jam and bread

That will bring us back to Doe.

You've never seen the movie musical The Sound of Music?

Very interesnting.... but in Mexico never see the movie musical The Sound of Music.

Congas, talk about congas!!

Interesting the number of tumbas used in this set up. Hum makes me wonder I have 2 congas a tumba and a quinto I would like to add another conga one day I may consider another tumba to play around a little.

When increasing the amount of congas increases the amount of sounds and musical possibilities, says Shaddy: All congueros should have a set minimum of 3 congas. Shaddy is right!

I learned the whole do re mi thing like this...
do- C major
Re- D major
Mi- E major
Fa- F Major
Sol- G major
La- A major
Si- B major
Do- C major octave

It's called "Solfege". There vare variations on this, such as "movable Do" and "fixed Do". If you attend music school, you will be taught Solfege-- usually one system or the other. I actually seem to recall a third variation, but can't remember now. Europe often uses fixed, and movable is often what is taught in the USA. I learned movable Do, but am familiar with the concept of fixed Do. Solfege is extremely valuable for Western music that is based on a chromatic scale of 12 pitches per octave.

The Do-Di-Ra-Ra thing actually goes like this:

Ascending from the low tonic note: Do-Di-Re-Me-Mi-Fa-Fi-Sol-Si-La-Li-Ti-Do

Descending from the high tonic note: Do-Ti-Te-La-Le-Sol-Se-Fa-Mi-Me-Re-Ra-Do

The enharmonic ones are Di and Ra, Fi and Se, Si and Le, Li and Te. The pitches sound the same, but the function is different in music. This should not matter with percussion though.
