His work is crucial for any percussionist who intends to take the art form to heart, and perhaps take it higher. I think of the technical skills of many when I watch and listen. As Buddy Rich was to the set, Giovanni is, to most everything "percussion". There is a language here. Freestyle.
Giovanni a unique conga bongo drummer like myself that loves to do your own style! It is an honor to have his bongos & congas! Oh yeah add into Percussion an antique cash register!
Buen alumno de los grande..... El tata guine.... el niño alfonso.... Anga.... Yoraldy..... la diferencia que los grandes tocan con sentimiento.... Este es un gran estudioso pero le falta ese sentimiento trata las congas como una maquina de escribir.... los que saben sabe de lo que hablo... les dejo un video años 70 de el niño alfonso y otro de anga.... para los amantes del cuero.....th-cam.com/video/jAHZVahc9s4/w-d-xo.html y el de Anga th-cam.com/video/mrpwGGQrIWw/w-d-xo.html
Fabulosa fusión de géneros !!! Lo Máximo el gran Giovani Hidalgo !!! Falto algo de afroperu para que te corones 😄👍🏻 sin duda igual un maestro buen físico 💪🏻
Before I got my drums, I hadn't even heard of him. When I brought them home, I looked up 'conga' on YT. Clicked on GH's 'At Home in Kissimmee' solo video (th-cam.com/video/KbyIv9n_-d0/w-d-xo.html). I nearly threw the drums out onto the street.
Met him a few times. I actually have videos on my channel performing. IMO he is the best but many others are incredibly great with diff. Styles. Giovanni is his own "style."
Thers is a video out with Hildago and Steve Gadd...It is AWESOME...Any drummer who wants to incorporate conga patterns into his/her style I HIGHLY recommend that video...5*****....
Firstly, sorry to hear about Giovanni fingers. God bless him. At first i thought Shure SM98's but then i saw those mic clips. Shure makes those shock mount clips but i've only seen them for the MX12 and 18's. I could be wrong but they are probably Audix M1255B miniaturized mics. If they did this in a studio then I'm certain there are also room mics. I also see a mic mounted much lower on his main drum. The 'omni' response curve goes pretty low so thats probably what you're hearing. It also has a boost at 6k & around 10-12k.
Anyone knows what happened to his fingers ? I see videos were he is missing three fingers and can not play anymore. He is still the greatest of all time!

Extraordinary talent and performance! God has blessed us with the best musicians and composers in all Latin America!
Genio artístico, acompañado por humildad son dos virtudes que raramente se encuentran en un ser humano. Giovanni es uno de ellos.

Any one know the mic set up here? Specifically whats being used to capture the bass and all the presence?
Firstly, sorry to hear about Giovanni fingers. God bless him. At first i thought Shure SM98's but then i saw those mic clips. Shure makes those shock mount clips but i've only seen them for the MX12 and 18's. I could be wrong but they are probably Audix M1255B miniaturized mics.

Uniters vcs estão aqui?
Anyone knows what happened to his fingers ? I see videos were he is missing three fingers and can not play anymore. He is still the greatest of all time!
Diabetes.
Does anyone know what mics are being used here?
I used Sure Beta 98's
La historia de la percusión latina se escribe desde antes y después de Giovanni Hidalgo.

Wait what was up with his nails? I've never seen them like that.
PERO ESE VIDEO DE Q FECHA ES ? , POR Q VEO BIEN AL MAESTRO
Why are his nails so long? Does it help with technique?
Alguien que sepa lo que le pasó al maestro en sus manos? lo vi en un video de hace un mes y le faltaban dedos, problema de diabetis??
Si
EL CABALLO
SADICO

Me dió realmente mucha tristeza ver a Gio volver a tocar el jicamo después de que le fueran amputados dos dedos, uno en cada mano:-(
Me senti tambien muy triste al ver ese video.... pero sabes en si que tiene gio ???
No lo sé realmente bro.@@jomajunior
@@jomajunior
amigo ha Giovanni le diagnosticaron diabetes , por eso le amputaron los dedos .
a mi igual me dio tristeza verlo asi
La diabetis es debida a la comida......es evitable!
eso, es lo mas triste.
Mejor que me de una bofetada que un arañazo , heaaa tu sabes lo que duele tocar cuero afinado con las uñas y el le da como si fueran dedos adicionales , grande jova
Antonio lugo.ninguna de las dos con cualquiera quedas en malas condiciones.
Terrible como suena el quinto!
