How To Play Conga De Comparsa on Congas + Exercise

  • IT'S TUTORIAL THURSDAY!!!
    So before moving forward.. This video is dedicated to MayLyn Passey who suddenly passed away on 10/15/2020. She was a huge fan of the channel and was always supportive of every video that was posted. I speak briefly about her in this video, so if you want to skip that portion, please go to 5:31
    In this video I show a very simple variation of Conga de Comparsa that you can try on 1, 2, or 3 congas. I also show how you can add a little more special sauce to that variation by using a simple exercise.
    CORRECTION I didn't notice until now that the clave portion didn't line up well. BUT The last 2 hits of the clave come RIGHT AFTER the last hit on the tumba to my dominant side. I Apologize for this error. Can't edit it out, but the count should help guide you in the clave.
    Examples of Conga de Comparsa:
    • Popurri De Congas
    • Gran popurrí de congas...
    • Comparsa (Conga) Afro ...
    • Conga-Comparsa Dance R...
    I hope y'all enjoy this one. Tell me what you think...

    Mi hermano, you’re amazing. Truth be told I stopped playing congas over 15 years ago, but after seeing your channel, I must admit that I fallen in love with playing again. Sigue pa’ lante, brother

    Eric, I paused the video on MayLyn's picture, and honestly choked up a little. You reach all of us in special ways, buddy, but it’s amazing how much love can be shown through your videos and conga playing. Wouldn’t it be great if we all could think of a little love every time we play, especially in times like this?

    Virtual group hug for MayLyn... it's such a sad news that we can all use one.
    Your work is very important for many of us, music is not just a craft, but also a gateway, a counselor, a friend... going from zero to being someone that knows enough to do some damage with a set of congas is all thanks to you, so we keep you in a special place in our hearts, being a teacher has that perk. Thank you.

    When you live your life without expectations of what you recieved based on what you are giving. Everyone thats connected to you benefits and those connected to them and so on. We never know the power that we posses to enrich and to change a days out look. Musically you've added to my tool box, as a person doing what you do. Makes me think what can I give back. Its a project im going to fulfill. Thank you for all that you do.

    Where are the links of comparsa that you mentioned? Thank you for your lessons and how you go well into detail of how to do things along with alternative methods at times. Bendiciones pa ti y tu familia Nene. And yes your video lessons are therapeutic. I end up honing my skills, and getting some stress out of my head through my hands while making music 😊🤗 thank you once again hermano! Keep up the phenomenal work. I keep looking forward to some different Afro beats 😀

    Eric, once again, you gave us yet another tool to add to our playing style. Thanks so much for that. Look forward to more rhythms in future videos. Oh! If you haven't already, checkout this conguero I've been viewing lately. His name is Yaroldi Abreu. The video is titled "Yaroldi Abreu de Irakere". Let us know what you think. Thanks.

    But your CORRECTION leaves me confused.
    Can you clarify which note in the overall pattern is the 1 of the 3-2 Rumba clave? Thanks!
