Announcing the addition of classes by Jesus Diaz to CongaMasterClass.com

Michael and I are thrilled to announce that we just posted 8 new videos of Afro-Cuban Percussion Master and Bandleader, Jesus Diaz. If you aren’t familiar with Jesus’ playing, (you might be one of the few) be sure to check out his band Jesús Díaz Y Su QBA on the Itunes store. With a lyrical voice, well crafted melodies and an inspirational feel for phrasing he is a true musician’s musician.

Late December, Jesus and Michael shot a series of videos covering basic timbale performance and technique. Included in the videos are an overview, three basic cascaras, how to play the bell, insight into how the abanico (edit) function and many ways to use your left hand throughout. Finally, Michael and Jesus combine for a musical ending where the two really put to practice what had been discussed in the prior videos.
