This video came out in 2006 and nearly 10 years later our tribute to this man is less than 200,000 views. That's disappointing, this video is a treasure.
I think it's in a way the nature of treasures like this to be veiled in some kind of shroud of secrecy and mystery. I just feel honored to have been one of 'The Chosen' ....
Disappointing? It’s not like this guy is Beyoncé or Drake. What the fuck do expect, everyone in the world to be as hip as you? It’s best that not a lot of people know, too much exposure would ruin his authenticity.
That's cause people need to be told what to like , or dislike nowadays . They hate thinking for themselves , God bless em ' . But not me .so I get to enjoy this guy's Art. and they get to sit in fear of the common cold .
I’m not a very experienced congeuro, but I play and I love to watch and study the very greatest. I’d heard David taught many great players, but after seeing this I honestly think he is the best congeuro of all time. Absolutely incredible talent. ❤ 🪘👏
This guy is sick! He must have been hatched out of a Congo drum. I'm Cuban and have seen some players but this dude is too much! He even smiles a few times during this Jam. He's like a human metronome. Mucho respecto brothe'.
Mr. David la Mole Ortiz is truly a Master!!!!My gratitude to Martin Cohen, founder of Latin Percussion, for this very special home-based video and many others. Martin has enriched us all with his instruments and a legacy of video recordings that will be cherished by us and percussionist yet to be born.
Insane technique! I had the pleasure of meeting this gentleman at last year's Namm show. His playing ability is priceless. When he plays in a band he steers the ship..
Imposible que no lo haya visto antes!!! Es un verdadero tutorial de 10 minutos para toda la vida. Que bárbaro, frases y respeto a la clave, no solo velocidad. Como decia Luis Delgado Aparicio la calidad no es pura casualidad. Dios lo tenga en su gloria
Remember very well the times "La Mole" used to eat at our dinner table. R.I.P. I know for sure he will be missed. My condolence to all his family n friends. :(
SOY DE CUBA Y TENGO DE QUE GLORIARME: MALANGA, PUNTILLA, EL DIFUNTO ANGÁ , MUÑEQUITO E MATANZA, TATA GÜINE, Y CHANGUITO, PERO USTED ESTÁ DE MADRE M A E S T R O .🇨🇺/🇵🇷🙏👍
Este senor no es de Puerto Rico... este senor le pertenece a todos los que oimos esa voz del corazon. Nos conectamos en el ritmo y la conversacion interna del "Dime y te dire..." del tambor. Thank you for downloading the magic of David La Mole Ortiz..
Thanks god I've had the luck to share rhumba with David when i was a youngster we use to mano a mano in the quinto. Me and my friends used to call him "el hombre de las munequeras(the man of the wrist bands) so many good times in Punta Salinas Beach, PR. It was a true honor to share so much love David used to call me BRUTUS because i use raw speed instead of double stroke rollers but still learning. GRACIAS MAESTRO LA MOLE ORTIZ.
Impresionante! Por el sonido, la técnica y la onda se nota que este congero es de otro nivel. Pero que sonido mas rico le saca a esos cueros! Gracias por el video! Saludos desde Chile.
El senor David Ortiz has been playing for over 40 years with some of P.R greatest bands. es nuestra especie endimica, maestro a un grado superlativo, su especilidad es el golpe invisible sobre el cuero, tecnica que se desaroya con mucha practica y sentido de clave. Ase muchos anos que el maestro tuvo su encuentro con Dios y dedica su tiempo a servile a el y su Iglesia. Quiero senalar que son muchos los bravos que han pasado por sus adiestramientos. Que viva el Maestro.
Maestrazo¡¡¡¡ Muy ágil y ritmico, Maestrazo definitivamente saludos desde México. Hasta estos momentos solo admiraba al Gran Giovanny Hidalgo pero este Señor es muy diferente.
It's always about who you know. Tu lo sabe mang siempre es "a quien conoces" y no necesariamente que tan bueno es tu talento. No hay mal que bien no venga (La Biblia)

Esto sin duda es un tesoro escondido de los nuestros...! Con todo y el mojon dandole bimbasos con la puerta el maestro sigue como si nada...! Que clase de CABALLOOOO...!!!!
Mis mas Respeto al Maestro Ortiz .. de los primeros ... y bueno también al maestro Giovanni .. quien Sobresalió mas por lo comercial ... pero escuchando su style y analizando ... Giovanni tiene mucho en común a las ejecuciones de la Mole . 🤔🤔🤔... ...agua como decía mi maestro Anga ..Ya todo está inventado ... es mi análisis... de grandes escuelas . Saludos
Por encima de todos con todo el respeto que se merecen los demás congueros que son muy buenos no pongo nombres ,pero la mole ortriz es de otro mundo mi pregunta es si será humano para tocar así 😸
Esto es un don de Dios You have to be born with that and you sure are. You need to be doing this in a band. You are great God Bless and let that little boy come in and out as many times as he wants. Like I said God Bless you and Pa Lante!!!!
mole??? soy javier de buenos aires.. te comento que mi sueño es aprender a tocar las congas, no creo que en mi vida entera me aproxime a tocar asi!!!! sos un maestro te juro por mis hijos estoy impresionado, me compre las congas y estoy aprendiendo por video y oido!!! llegare algun dia a conocerte ??? seria el sueño de mi vida poder estar presente viendote tocar!!!!! que dios te bendiga y te de el poder de enseñar a alguien a tocar de esta manera!!!!!!! abrazos porteños!!!! javier soto
AMAZING. AMAZING . It is sad that he is not a known as some of his students are. What a melodic player. He make Mongo,Tata & Patato proud. I here that he is coming out with some INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIAL. I CANNOT WAIT ! GOD BLESS !
In all the years that I've listened to latin percussionists from Barretto to Santamaria and I never once heard of this man....Where was he during the 70's and early 80's???? Who did he play with???
Yo miro este video por lo menos tres veces a la semana. Y es que todavia no logro levantar la madibula del piso del asombro. es un Artista .. espero que pronto haga un taller en el area de NY..
