Alafia Abures!
I hope that you are all swimming in an ocean of blessings my friends!
I'm afraid I may have lived my life up to now in a perpetual vacum! I haven't had the pleasure of seeing any of Kalani's instructional videos, I have heard of Bobby Sanabria's however, and also good reviews on it!
I haven't heard anyone mention, for a beginners pace, Richie Gajates video. Don't want to ruffle any feathers here, but I was given a copy of both his 1st and 2nd videos, and the conga techniques he covers in one of them is quite explicit. He does a great job, in my humble opinion, of explaining in laymans terms (heel-toe-slap-toe-heel-toe-open-open) el basico, which may have helped a broad base of beginners with their comprehension of the rythm itself. Have I mentioned to you all that I was born illiterate? :laugh:
I am trying, as an old dog can, to learn reading music, but patience is a commodity which I haven't much left of! :;):
Adelante Mis Hermanos!
Onile!
