Might as well post back on here as a follow-up eh?
Well, I didn't end up getting as far South as LA, and instead started in San Jose traveling up to Arcata, N Oregon, and lower WA, then back.
So, I ended up having a private lesson with Clifford Brooks in Oakland, and it was very nice. Learned some quinto generalities and double drum patterns to Columbia. Then, the Afro-Cuban Dance and Drum Workshop in Arcata was outstanding! I probably grew several years in Cuban conga knowledge just in that week!
Had instructors like - Francesco Aguebella, Sandy Perez, Chris Walker, and Raynaldo Ganzalez.
So, awesome that I'm doing it again this summer - '05
Again, if there's anyone along that general route, then post it here or IM me!
