Hello everyone....updating my progress on my Instructional DVD. I have found a great little studio a friend of mine has that I can shoot it in. I plan it to be at least a 2 hour DVD covering a lot of things like, counting, tapping,and reading, tumbao variations-3 point tumbao/2 point tumbao,Developing a Roll, Doubles in 5 7 and 9, and a whole lot more, Clave consiousness, rhythms and "styles". ....I have been very busy in the studio working with a group here in Seattle called "Yogi & The Yoginees", only in Seattle, Gentleman....but it's turning out to be an interesting mix of Latin Jazz, Afro-Fusion, Tabla/Samba fusion( I layed down all the Brasilian perc, tracks over a tabla track that was recorded by itself and the individual played a "Samba tabla" rhythm and I put the "sweetners") on it, and it sure is different stuff, from whatever I have done. Also preparing to go into the recording studio to start my next recording project "Mi Segundo Amor/My Second Love"....which is the Vibraphone. After congas, that's the instrument for me. I"m self taught going on about 6 years, but I wouldn't call my self a vibist, but I can play a little....so that is the News up here in the Pacific Northwest...also dont forget to tune in online to my radio show "AL LADO LATINO" every saturday at 6pm PST. 91.3 FM..www.kbcs.fm ......"JC" Johnny Conga...... :;):
