Hey JC,
I'm playing Bongó and Conga almost everyday at this point and finally getting arround and playing in different settings of Son, Son Montuno, Charanga etc.
as well as Latin Jazz. I'm developing with every new experience! And I'm loving my Cuban Tumbadora with the Cuban cow skin,
it makes me sound like Tata Guines
Also, I appreciate your instruction videos, I always pick something up from them, very helpfull!
At any rate, I discovered this video below recently and thought that,
because you're from the
"Boogie Down" and knew all those pioneering heavies of the New York scene back in the day,
you might remember the Bongocero or might even have actually attended this concert.
I hadn't heard of the Bongocero or the Timbalero before and they both knock me out. I also like the tune here
Fantasia...Great ensemble
Enjoy...
