Back in the day many of us learned either, if we were lucky, with people of various experiences or with a professional player. In many big cities there were jam sessions in parks and on street corners during the warm months. Now we can refer to the University of TH-cam and pick the many brains that this portal provides for us. Among the most generous are guys like Eric and Kalani. The first class that I took back in 1973 was with Dr Michael Babatundi Olatungi who provided us with his system of drum notation based on sounds from Yoruba. The simplest tumbao was, using that system is go go pa-pa gun gun (notated in a more conventional Western style by Montego Joe in his book on Conga Drumming). Also, we must not forget the great Candido Camero, featured in 70th Birthday group, who is said to be the pioneer in the use of multiple conga drums. He's a favorite of my late father who was fascinated when he heard Candido play Christmas melodies at Jimmy Connolly's in Boston Massachusetts back in the 1950's.
🙃 I thought I was still asleep and dreaming, my mind playing tricks on me, when I saw Eric in here... but no, it's real, it's great to see collaborations like this, you are both great teachers, thanks for sharing.
Wow, synchronicity. I was just thinking when Eric's last video came out that it would be cool to get some basic conga instruction from him on this channel. Thanks to both of you - gotta love it! ;)
Oh Em Geeeee That’s ME!!! Hahaha thanks again for having me Kalani!!! Really hope this helps many people!
