Hi,
The best conga teachers that I know of in Melbourne are - Ray Periera, Alex Pertout, Javier Fredes. I'm sure there are others, go to one of the bigger salsa gigs and see if you can talk to the conga player. I have heard there is a very good new player from Cuba in Melbourne but I dont know his name, but he plays in salsa bands.
Google their names, I know that Alex and Ray P have websites through which you can contact them.
cheers
Pavlo
If you're ever in Adelaide, S Aust. PM me we can organise a lesson.
P.S. If you hook up with Ray, say 'Hi' to him from me. He was my teacher for about 5 years and really knows his stuff.
