Nice dance performance and good bongo work, but it looks more like she had choreographed her dance really well to the recorded tune and he was faking on bongos/conga. He may have done the original recording, but for this TV video he was not marcando live, he was playing along with his own recording and pretty inaccurately at that. Still give him credit for helping put the bongo as a legitimate instrument on mainstream north american media when others for racial and other reasons were not accepted.

I love this clip. I have seen it and agree it was pre recorded. "Mr Bongo" Mr.Jack Costanzo did the recording and I think it turned out great! I love when he tosses the ring back to her. Great timing. I talked to Mr.Costanzo about this clip and he told me they had a wonderful time making it. He was on that show quite often.
