Hello first this IS NOT guaguanco maybe it's an "offshoot" way of playing it because he doesnt really know how to play it, so he is "assimilating" the sound.....of the tones.......and the dancers are mediocre at best....Johnny Conga....
Im sorry, but that is not guaguanco. I dont know what to call it other than terrible. I wish I had another set of hands so I could give it 4 thumbs down. Harsh, but true.

I was having drinks at a Latin club celebrating a friends birthday, was well fueled up with rum, late in the night I was invited up to jam with the band during their last set, my friend filmed this short clip of my solo with his phone, not my best, maybe shouldnt play with so much alcohol in me!
I have sat in front of me a glass of Havana Club 7 anos , which i just bought on my trip to Barcelona ,just got back today . Abakua thanks for sharing that video. I will try to imulate your solo in a moment when I practice for the first time in 4 days . Great solo and better knowing it was fueled with Haban Club
Not quite a video but I discovered this gem on BBC website. It is a report a three part relaxed journey of one hour each through Cuba exploring it's music. With interviews and full unabridged live tracks in the customary BBC quality.
Check other features on the website covering Belize, Panama, Ghana, etc

More from "Cacho" playing drums, timbal and tumbadoras (congas) with a latin band. Great independance. The song originally by Willie Colon starts a little slow, but keep watching. :;): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGPDpcK31KU
