I thought they were JCR and the timbal used in that video in my opinion is JCR too. I owned one of those JCR Oak conga sets but my set finish is not natural but stained. They are some big and heavy drums for sure.

Those drum when they came from Puerto Rico they brought from Cali timbales , bell's, bongos and that set of congas.I remember because I was working that day and another friend of both of us, went to me to get cases for those drums. They are beautiful set. Cali quickly Put JCR on them but in reality Junior made them jajaja

So Caly is not really a conga maker? Or have Caly made any congas ever all by himself?

[Mr. Conga]

Can some one please identify the congero on the video?...i think the name on it is the singer...

leedy; yes they look like a mix of Junior/Cali's lol!!! .. ....

Since the camara dostn close up i couldnt really tell, they kind of looked like SOS, with the chrome hardware.

[Mr. Conga]

Ritmo Boricua ...YES! Caly dosnt make congas.

go to the Bronx, shop and tell him...wow J.c.r congas are dope make me one how much? ...

He will give you the run around....i wanna know what he tells you though Bro, so call him, to find out your self.

As Leedy said sarcasticly, a mixed between Junior and Caly, i dont know what the deal was about that.
Quickly stamping J.C.R on them..Although i love J.C.R products.

Caly is a great metal artesan, and knows what makes a good authentic Boricua drum. The type of woods, herraje, skins, he is a pro, and brought all the elements together for us to enoy awasome instruments. What i can respect about J.C.R percussions is that Caly use to go out of his way, to import the best exotic caribe wood shells, import skins, and put together some of the best bongos, he invested a great deal into importing, the right elements...and then perfect them.

I just respect Junior's great artesan skills, when it comes to shaping a conga the right way. But Caly always stamping his logo on a lot of Junior congas?...

I think Caly got too selfish with that.

Altough some of the newest J.c.r's are not Juniors...There was a Dominican guy who use to work for Caly making congas, bu they donk have the exact Junior shape, curve, inside juniors had a special curved, dent, a bent, that is almost impossible to copy.

I wish Caly, and Isaac would be more open to talk about this, being honest about it..

Junior made the conga, Caly the hardware, but Caly stamped J.C.R all over the hardware on some of Juniors work i mean, alll over!...
and didnt give junior the proper respect, and credit for his work.

Here is our rumba group performing at the Living Legends Tribute to Gene Golden in the Bronx last week. From the left, Alfredo Diaz "Pescao" is singing lead with Viejo Martinez and Jose "Chino" Real on coro, Felix "Matanzas" on guagua/coro, Diosvany Valladares on cajon/tumbador, Clemente Medina on quinto, and I am playing tres dos. Dancers are Susan Sanabria and Tito Sandoval. This is modern rumba guaguanco.
We play every Saturday night at la Esquina Habanera in Union City, 1401 Summit Ave corner 14th St, from 10:30 pm to 1:30 am. PM me for directions.
