I was viewing some bembe stuff on congamasterclass.com, and Michael Spiro had an example of bembe w/ sticks
he said was makawa. First off , it's really cool , but after watching some youtube videos of makawa I noticed the caja part was different than the one Mike taught, and the caja player used two drums.
The caja part Mike taught was your standard bembe caja part played with sticks , and the caja parts on the videos I viewed were off the hook. In fact, a little kid was playing in one of them just riffing his ass off, occasionaly going back to "one".
Anyone know if there is a basic makawa caja ride?
Btw, Conga masterclass is great , I've learned so much!!!
