@@hollowwallsendmiseryforest8709 I'm sure you're the type of guy that hates a lot of things, but do you really need to tell everyone on the internet how bland and uninspiring you are ? I mean what would be your fancy then, if three masters of a beautifull instrument can piss you off, i'm sure the creaking of brakes or the smell of human piss , and it's much more likely in NYC subway, so dont despair, there's still a good match for you waiting out there.
I used to see this all the time as a kid in the 90s and early 2000ds! You could really feel the vibrations all in your body when they all played together. It was always so cool to me.
Listen my children , I was born and raised in the South Bronx of NYC . Rumbas in Central Park on hot summer days . Drums are the rhythm of life . EVERY CULTURE IN THE WORLD has some kind of PERCUSSION instrument . Check it out . Peace and love mi Gente .
hmmm, to be honest: we germans don´t have too much drummig and percussion in our traditional cultural heritage, but during the last century we learned a lot from other cultures and adapted many nice things - due to the modern facilities there has been a great exchange worldwide and i personally love this a lot! one of the things i liked, is that after the appearance of the nigerian superstar king sunny adé in german tv in 1983 we had a wave of african bands coming over to germany and i saw countless of them perform live and they were all excellent musicians, singers and dancers... and i love the net for providing us with sweet stuff from all around the globe!!! th-cam.com/video/lVPLIuBy9CY/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/RL0rZXzu8Qc/w-d-xo.html last year friends of mine gave out this one: th-cam.com/video/UvSdJHbwwIY/w-d-xo.html yep, and i love this very video also and send love and greetings from germany to you over there in the bronx... :-)
I totally agree with you on that one brotha Pablo Figueroa. Drums are like languages. And they speak a language all their own. When we learn to drum we are learning the language of the percussion. Just like a guitar player a keyboard player flute harps so on and so forth. Music itself is a language. Reading notes to play the proper tones. This rumba is rich with history and when playing rumba shares a culture all into itself. I am a djembe drummer it took me 35 years to get where I am and I still have way too much to learn which is the fun part for me every African rhythm I learn and practice is like learning a language of each country of the continent of Africa. Bless brotha man always for sharing this comment
The lady in the middle does have soul just like the rest of us were a little shy about embracing it god bless to these young kings and of course the person recording much love RESPECT
There is hope for the human species. This is not just three guys hitting some drums and making noise. This is a true dialogue between three different humans beings, with different styles, different perspectives, and surely different backgrounds. But they are able to put all that aside and have a dialogue, listen to each other, respect each other voices and without a doubt, bring some joy to this convulsive world. We could have better societies if we follow examples like this.
Na this is just 3 men hitting drums, but it is entertaining. Now if there was also a white guy with a guitar, and a Hispanic guy with an electric piano, then I'd have hope for humanity.😂
@@lescobrandon8045 looks like your profile picture is addressed to your own intellectual honesty ahah.

There is no way I could not give these brothers my full attention and my money……..This performance was PRICELESS……..In a word these men are AWESOME …….AWESOME !!!!!!!!
My heart breaks when I see those cold, seemingly soulless people there, staring at their phones while having a display of such art and talent right in front of their faces!!! 😭😭😭... Kudos to those guys though! I wish I would witness something like this, I'd be dancing and enjoying every second of it! MUSIC will save the world! 😍🎶
Not everyone wants live drums right Infront of them on the way home from work on the subway, imaging having a thumping headache and having no choice but to listen. I do enjoy it I love drums but you have to understand not everyone does.
Retired professional drummer here from Los Angeles....theses cats are awesome, well tuned show and extremely talented, only in New York baby ya gonna see something like this, thank you for shooting and sharing it!!
I have seen these guys many times on the train, and they are without a doubt the tastiest street drummers in all of NYC. If you see them, give them a few bucks. I always do.
What ‘energy’? Positive energy? Such BS talk. Noisy drums being played by a group of extroverts on a train when I’d prefer peace and quiet. Thoughtless!!
I'm not a percussionist by training but I need it too! :) If you want to hear more, they are The Last Drummers and here is their TH-cam page: th-cam.com/users/TheLastDrummersfeatured
Man I miss those days growing up in NYC 1970's/80's listening to all the street musicians and especially the drummers of NYC. So much energy and power from many drummers and percussionist's performing in the streets of NY especially downtown 42nd street and many street festivals. You didn't need a dime in your pocket and would have the time of your life back then. Miss it always! Thanks for making a nice effort to keep the vibe of percussion alive and beating in NYC. 🙏
This is funkier than all out universes. The universes are smiling down and our ancestors are joyfully happy about how their lineage is living on through the generations and this video proves that. Music is like cousins from different continents. Each with their own accent and language and yet still understand each other. Viva la musica long live our ancestors in spirit as once in this life.
It's the moment when the wonderful polyrhythm of the conga transforms the space inside the subway car into a wonderful live venue. The people who listen quietly without anyone stopping it are also wonderful. great groove
I keep coming back to this video. Not gonna lie, I've watched it atleast 50 times... The dynamic and the voicing of the drums and the groove - oh my god the groove!!! These three legends have changed my way of playing congas
I’m cuban, and when I see congas I think of rumba ( guaguanco). You tube recommended me this video, I was at work, so I save it to watch it later. Different rhythms, different people, different country, but bro, I still loved it. This is awesome 👏 👏. Tremenda rumba buena.
As a hand percussionist on congas for over 50 years... you folks get all my interwebs! Most chill subway ride ever, you moved some souls and it sounded great! Love from Canada!
I studied Dance for 11 years. African, Ballet, Tap and Jazz. African was my favorite. When I hear these drums, something awakens in my soul. I just want to dance.
Well, I've never been on a tram, train or subway where musicians do their improvised sessions... but I like the attitude of these guys. I'm not musically trained, but they made me SMILE. Thanks!
It's really inspiring, as drummer, as latin, as Mexican. I can feel all that influence from the Mother Africa to our culture, music and race. Afro-Mexicans!!! Peace bros...
I had seen them play on the F train a day with me, my husband, and my children one day and they were really great. I have my son three dollars for each of them, I would have given more if I had it. Such natural and rare talent. You don't see that much these days and these gentlemen killed it.
Not rare - this is common throughout Africa and in cultures around the world from African backgrounds - not only percussion but dancing and singing, etc. Their rhythm, music, and dance are highly developed.
Love it. Used to hear conga drum players in the late 60s and 70s playing around Berkeley CA all the time especially around Tilden park lake. Good job👍👍👍😊
ABSOLUTELY PROFESSIONAL!!! TIGHT!! ORANIZED!! I loved this and would love to learn and play with them!! These Brother Need To Get Bookings!! See Ya Soon my brothers!! I.m looking for Ya!! 2021!!
Dear gentlemen musicians. You have brought an incredible joy with your mastery and your incredible musical coordination. Had I been there, I would have been dancing. HONEST!
Only in NYC! I am so proud to call this city my home. We argue, sometimes fight, but there is so much love out there if you look for it. Peace everyone!
Every time I watch this video, I always end up grooving right along to the cadence of their congas. Fantastic tempo, flow and rhythm. I hope they're getting the recognition they deserve on and off line.
Man, i love these guys. I hope they're all well and still playing! This video cheers me up everytime. Every bad day i have in my life, i come here to get positive vibes... this sounds really make my soul smile. Godspeed my friends, godspeed
Tight gentlemen! Miss the days of jammin' the Last Poets, playing the parks, and any other place we could get away with it. Not much of that where I live now. Good to see it's still alive and well where you are. Thanks for the memories and for sharing!!
Unbelievable how people dont react !!! I would have stand up and move my body with those great sounds of drums 💓💓👏👏👍 i m French and i loooove this😍 and u know, in Paris its same attitude when some musicians play in métro, people dont care.... ils so sad . MUSIC LIVE IS SO GREAT SPECIALY DRUMS!!
Out the five boroughs, We also In East New York, Brooklyn Jam In Howard Projects in the Circle. One of the Main Guys Was Papo RIP. We Played alot of Cuban Beats There on on Girl Called Magalie. We have over six Drums, When Summer came we also played in Central Park These guys are Great. We have great Drummers in Brooklyn Too. Weekends In Corney Island Boardwalk........see you there next summer Jam Gathering..

Boom...shaga...laga...laga... boooom..... So sweet!! It was this way when I drummed among all the other immigrant musicians, near Arthur Ave. Their, then, there REALLY was "dancing in the streets", singing on a street corner, everybody joining in. The best! Now, @ my 69-yrs, I'll take my djembe & doumbek to so-called Drum Circles in SW FL, & it's all bang bang bang. Sighhh. Folks here think an expensive drum makes it's "magic" just sitting between their legs. Nope, it's one's hands, heart, & ears that combines to cause it. Like with these fine young men!! Gracie'
That really was phenomenal drumming right there. I wonder if people realize how hard that is to do what the guy in the middle was doing - licking his finger and make his drum sing like that. So difficult.
The disinterest from siss in the scarf and glasses in the background, is level 10. To ignore audio and visual stimulus that close by, that staunchly, requires super hero levels of defiant concentration. When soulful meets soulless!! Great vibes, great idea! Great work, guys!! 🎼🧘♂️✨
But that lady next to her got soul, and soul siss is lvl 10 considering surroundings, pulled out some bucks for guys that will give 'em latter. And leave the colors behined, brooooo!
The English took away the hand drum from blacks in the States, thing the Spaniards didn't do in the Caribean and South America. Watching this video makes me tear up. Love to see African Americans drumming away like they always did for generations before.

Growing up in the 60s and 70s this was constant. Refreshing to see these brothers preserving the culture.
Listening to Latin players in Joyce Kilmer Park in New Brunswick, NJ on the congas and timbalies
we don't care about this "culture". No one asked them to do that.
For real !!!!
You disappoint me with your lack of bongos. For shameeee!
oh man i wish you guys had cameras so I could listen too@@gmanpee65
I once woke up out of sleep on the A Train to the sound of these drummers. Felt like I was in Africa coming out my dream. Beautiful experience.
Very top congratulations, congratulations I liked it
If I got woken up by these I would be so pissed off

Brilliant coordination between the drummers it seems as if only one person is playing.
Right? Their coordination on the drumroll was also unbelievable, sounded like one single drumroll
they healing themselves and everyone around them, ppl are scared to receive such positive energy it makes them think they will lose control

So sweet!! It was this way when I drummed among all the other immigrant musicians, near Arthur Ave. Their, then, there REALLY was "dancing in the streets", singing on a street corner, everybody joining in. The best!
Now, @ my 69-yrs, I'll take my djembe & doumbek to so-called Drum Circles in SW FL, & it's all bang bang bang. Sighhh.
Folks here think an expensive drum makes it's "magic" just sitting between their legs. Nope, it's one's hands, heart, & ears that combines to cause it. Like with these fine young men!! Gracie'
That really was phenomenal drumming right there. I wonder if people realize how hard that is to do what the guy in the middle was doing - licking his finger and make his drum sing like that. So difficult.
Yeah he has no finger print on that finger lol. U literally gotta burn your finger on the skin to get that slide perfectly.
Glissando , not difficult...guys have a jam going on! Beautiful, talented!
These guys flow is exceptional..very nice..trancing..hearing this after a long day at work n riding home on the subway to would put me in the zone
The disinterest from siss in the scarf and glasses in the background, is level 10. To ignore audio and visual stimulus that close by, that staunchly, requires super hero levels of defiant concentration. When soulful meets soulless!!
Great vibes, great idea! Great work, guys!! 🎼🧘♂️✨
But that lady next to her got soul, and soul siss is lvl 10 considering surroundings, pulled out some bucks for guys that will give 'em latter. And leave the colors behined, brooooo!
I agree with you.The disinterest shows she's running away from herself.Self hate is real.
If you ride the trains in NY these guys are regulars. She done seen they Ass before lol
Most likely they hear it all the time
They ain't got the *soul*
Supergroovy!

THAT TOOK ME ALL THE WAY BACK HOME 🧙🏿♂️
I LOVE NEW YORK CITY! HOME SWEET HOME!!!
Perfect! Didn't skip timing and great showmanship. They can play in any salsa or merengue band they want!
When he did the sound with his elbow !!!! Waow
The English took away the hand drum from blacks in the States, thing the Spaniards didn't do in the Caribean and South America. Watching this video makes me tear up. Love to see African Americans drumming away like they always did for generations before.
Brings back good memories of riding the train in the BX back in the day

They all sound good. Love the fast drum roll ability of the guy on the left.
Just OH WOW! Outstanding! I miss being in my drum circle. Really takes me back !
The late Master Drummer Ray Barretto would called these Brothers like one of his songs, THE SOUL DRUMMERS.
Reminds me of the drummers of downtown Boston 🌻
From UK. So pleased you brothers were trying to help those poor ignorant "Screen Zombies". Keep up the good work.
