- I wanted to end the year with a BANG... And what better way than taking some time and honoring the Living Legend Papo Pepin....
By far, one of the most influential congers ever!! His style, like many, cannot be emulated. Thanks Papa for everything you have contributed to my generation...

Hey bro! 1st I wanna say thank you so much for basically paying tribute to a living legend my grandfather Papo Pepin. It's always great to see a lot of inspiring percussionist take a little bit of what hes been able to do in this world and share it with others. It's not the easiest thing to do To emulate and basically try to dissect his phrases and certain patterns that he does with different artist in different occasion's no 2 are ever the same but the one thing that is definitely the same is his slap. He has a very unique slap a signature of his own that you can always tell it's him playing.
So again, I really do appreciate you shedding some light on this and continue doing what you're doing. hopefully we'll cross paths in the future.
Stay blessed,
Christian Pepin
Christian Pepin wow!! Thanks Christian!!! Appreciate those kind words. I’m humbled.... and trust we all have tried to do something your grandfather Papo has done and have failed miserably haha so this was just my attempt on showing his special sound! Thanks bro!
Hi Christian, a couple of years back I had the pleasure of visiting a Papo Pepin / Trio Cachimbo gig during a holiday in NY and recorded some souvenirs - first clip (out of 4) is ua-cam.com/video/ijNGvteNU5s/v-deo.html You may like watching them too.
We had a great time. I did remember the show, and that we had a chat with the band afterwards - but not his name. Until I bought myself a set of bongos recently, which of course I have to learn (I normally play bass in pimiento.nl ). So I came across the Percussion Life channel, and in this episode I immediately I recognised your grandpa. Greetings from the Netherlands!
I had the fortune of seeing Papo Pepin on several occasions. He particularly impressed me when he was playing with Louie Ramirez and was playing one conga drum with a full salsa band. He made that one drum sound like three. It was amazing. He is one of the greatest. He is a testimony to less is more. Thanks for covering him.
Victor Rivera Facts!!!! His tone is one of a kind!
one of my all time favorites ,pap, pap, papo pepin
Always cool and surreal to see videos about my Tio Papo. Nice video! Thanks! - Isaac Pepin
Good friend. I was his photographer some 12 years ago. We've become friends since. Cool guy to be around. Will make you laugh for sure. Also thanks for using my photo. We took it in the Fordham/Kingbridge road library Bronx NY.
As if it couldn't get better, un Tumbao Estilo Paco Pepin. Wow!!! Wowwwww!!! That was awesome. That was one mean Tumbao. I love it!!!!🌷💓🌷🌺🌷💓🌷🌺🌷💓🌺
Papo Pepin is my grandfather. Nothing brings me more joy than seeing someone talk about him the way you do. He’s a great man with an amazing talent. I wish more people saw him the way you do
I had the pleasure of playing with him. He's one of a kind
you are among the very, very few that teaches tumbaos and more. la Proxima gracias!
I saw papo playing live in P.R. with R. Rohena apollo sound .
gracias siempre por todos que nos enseñaron. keep on teaching bro!
Who hasn't Papo played or recorded with, I've played on a couple of his recordings, he's a great pleasure to work with very helpful and very creative, he's my man. A Legend!
Hey Eric, Papo Pepin was for a long time the Apollo Sound conguero and also play with Tito Allen!! Keep it up bro
His Willie Rosario/Tito Allen/Roberto Roena time was him at his very peak. It is a pleasure listening to his “timba” and solos. “Pa pa ra pa pín pín, Papo Pepín te toca la tumba” from Roena’s “Sigue tu rumbo “.
Thanks for lesson , I learned alot
You rock
I like the sound from the right tumbadora
The Tito Allen albums on Alegre (the ones from the 70s produced by Louie Ramirez) introduced me to his sound and should be required listening for all congueros. His solos for example on Guancona, Cachon, or Lluvia are so unique but just the way he plays tumbao behind the orchestra throughout is special.
his solo on Cachon just tremendous
Papo Pepin is the BEST!
El disco de "Untouchable" de Tito Allen es uno de los mejores si no el mejor para el estilo del gran Papo Pepín. Tuve el privilegio de tocar con él ela Banda Latina de Ray Santos en NYC a principios de los noventa. Tremendo personaje.
On Roberto Roena’s last album for Fania, Super Apollo 47:50 he takes a long solo on yo tenía una mujer. Adalberto puts a soneo from típica 73, te llevó conmigo “La Candela” 1975 Willie Rosario did a tune before 1972 Arrepentido Pecadores where he takes a solo. I believe he may be on early to mid 70’s Kako recordings as well.
WOW - you got me! I am hooked on your channel. In the beginning, I never liked Papo Pepin's style. Why? simply put - I didn't know what I didn't know... I didn't like what I didn't understand - until I did. And now, he is one of my top three congueros - none of his tumbaos are the same.
As a commenter said, less is more, he does more with one drum than anyone else could do with 5. And I am saddened to admit, I learned this way too late... "Si Tu No Te Fueras" his tumbao there cannot be duplicated, no two tumbaos are ever the same. I went back and deep dived into his Roena recordings... Willie Rosario... even the Louie Ramirez stuff! Un matched Unrivaled.
Great find!!! Great Homage!!!
Grrrrrrrrrreat tumbao! Well executed!
Great work as always bro! I love the overhead cam, it def helps to see you playing from that perspective!
Michael Glanzer Thanks!!!
That was beautiful. Thank you, and Happy New Year!
Horace Douglas Thanks!!!
@@APercussionLife No really. Thank you for sharing your talent with the world, so others can enjoy and gain knowledge. That's we are supposed to do. Love you!
As always another great video...love your videos and yes sir Papo Pepin was a "phenom"!! 💯
I had a teacher in Philly who had studied with Frankie Malabe in the 80s, and he showed me the tap/bass/slap combination as you deciphered around 19:10 time code.
Excellent work 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Happy new year! And the beat goes on. God bless.
Impresionante la agudeza que tienes para notar la grandeza de Papo Pepin. Realmente es un grande y tu lo eres aun mas al reconocer su trabajo. Gracias!
Yup! Papo Pepin is on Otra Nota 1993. On the track “El último beso” written y Marc Anthony’s father, Papo Pepin does a lil weird flex con las congas and Marc says “PEPIN!” Thats when I got hooked with Pepin style all throughout the album!
Love. GODS GIFTs and YOU SHINE THEM EVERY DAY. PAZ AMOR Y MUSICA
Hi Eric, I just got my Richie Gajate-Garcia signature congas, and Iam so bless to end the year subscribing to your tutoring thursdays class ! I was bless to see El Maestro Papo Pepin in Puerto Rico in a concert with Bobby Valentin and his band and Tommy Oliviencias Band too. Love the overhead cam, it helps to see you playing from a better perspective for us first timer! I love your teaching methods great job papa!
Papo is my cousin husband,
always amazed to hear him play, " El Maestro "
great on papo first time I heard papo was with Roberto Roena I had the pleasure to work with him in La India's band
Happy New year. 2019 here we come praying for bigger and better things for you and yours thanks for another great video love you.
Emilio Conguero Thanks Emilio!!! Be Blessed!!!
I like this tumbao
The video came Just in the time before we celebrate the arrival of 2019 in 3 hours time here in Holanda. Great!
John F. Kelly woooooo!!! Awesome!
John F. Kelly same here in Belgium! Whoppaa
@@Boutrosbrother have great '19
As always,awesome.
Bro, you’re a genius
Saludos Eric, Love it, I first started following him when he played with The apollo soundl. But I heard at one time he had he own Oquestra.
Eric and to all happy new year have a good one
LOVE IT! More, more please! Great Tumbao by one of the greats.
Love your channel, tanks for all that good info.
My first recollection hearing Papo Pepin was the Tito Allen albums... I was like 12 and that was it! If you want to hear real conga solos, solos that you can sing look up those albums: Ahora y siempre, Feliz y dichoso, Beyond, and of course all of the other albums he's ever been a part of... 🤯
Hey Eric, thank you for your contributions to the world of percussion! This is a fun pattern to learn/play. I added a slight change; instead of coming back with closed slap with the left hand after the two open tones on the low drum, I used an open slap instead. But I'll practice it both ways. Thanks for sharing this with us!
Thanks maann. I love your videos!!!
Best mode you smooth my man
The video is with Louie Ramirez (RIP) and Noche Caliente singing Ray de la Paz...He also played with The Puerto Rico All Stars (rival of the Fania All Stars) in the 1980's! Love Papo Pepin's style.
Brooooooo... Those skins make those congas sound soooo warm. Damn I love that!! Great video bruddah!
This is awesome, so nice!
Oh yeah! Would be interesting to adapt this to a guaguanco!
Brother "Papo Pepin" Legendary Conguero Great Video..Happy 2019, Bring more Bongos Video..My Favorite Player "Roberto Rohena"
i left my setup (im left handed) with my 2nd drum on my right. After hitting the first note on the drum i use same hand to slap on the quinto.
Feliz 2019 brother! Y gracias por este video!
It's those little things. Very melodic player.
Muy bueno! Feliz y Prospero Año Nuevo Brother 🎼🎤🎉🥂

Sabarabatin tin papo pepi te toca la tunba 🇵🇷
Definitely one of my favorites PAPO PEPIN. Straight up nasty player. Yes he is a bad man . 😂
Mi hermanito por favor SUBTÍTULOS en Español... Excelente su trabajo...
Papo Pepin es una Leyenda Viva a tocado con Machito, Kako, Willie Louie Ramirez, Roberto Roena etc etc etc me encanta Papo Pepin es diferente al igual que Patato, Mañengue, Cachete, Mongo cuando los oyes sabes quien esta tocando
Wow..great teaching Conguero Maestro Feliz Ano Nuevo🎉✌
Great video, thank you and Happy New Years to you and yours. Btw the band Papo is playing with in that video is Louie Ramirez band. He’s the one on timbales, not sure if you know about him but if not he was also a great vibraphonist and arranger. Peace brother
Danni Santana Yesssss!!! Yea I mentioned him in the video who Papo was playing with... he’s also a good piano player!!! Crazy dude!!! I’d love to cover him in a video eventually!!’ Thanks and Happy New Years Danny!
A Percussion Life my bad I didn’t catch that. Always look forward to your videos. Stay blessed my brother!
Papo is a BAD DUDE. I ENJOYED EVERY SECOND HAVING TO PLAY WITH HIM.
would you please break down Pakito Beaza guaguaco mantanzas on 3 Drums
As found on his UA-cam video? Thanks
To add to my previous comment: Papo said more with one or two congas than today's flashy congueros try to say with three to six drums.
He recorded with Tito Allen (1978-82) and played with Roberto Rohena and his Apollo Sound (1982...) "Voy a Papo Pepin..."
Haz un vídeo de Milton Cardona
Tengo una pregunta: en El Salvador se toca mucha tumbadoras? Donde aprendió ese arte en USA o El Salvador?
Te falto el más GRANDE, Cheo Feliciano. Te dejo con pappo pepin tocando la tumba, SOBRE UNA TUMBA HUMILDE.
Dope
Great sound Eric.God bless you.
Papo Whoooooooo????
Just little detail you forgot to mention where he played the most WITH ROBERTO ROENA
muchas gracias por tus videos, son geniales!!! pero este ritmo... no lo creo el maestro Patato Valdez? Saludos
Para-para-para para-para-parradiddle
Donde encuentro el podcast dicussions in percussion :c
geni eric!! te sigo siempre, hey alguna recomendacion para retomar estudios de percu algun libro video para recomendar etc??
You ever do Carlito Soto?
Hi Erik, nice video. I was thinking to play salsa with two tumbas rather than conga (11 3/4) and tumba(12,5) to get a much deeper and bass sound. What do you think about this setup? So I will tune the normal notes for the conga and tumba but using 2 tumbas. You community guys cal also comment , I will love to hear your thoughts!
Where can I get a T-shirt like that
Good stuff bro but question I think Ray B and Mongo were already doing this or at least a similar variation anyways thanks, this is an important rhythm to learn
Che porque pusiste la tumba más grave a tu izquierda y la tumba medio grave a tu derecha?
Hello sir, I'm subscribed. Could you point me to a youtube teacher who knows how to convert latin conga grooves and fills to djembe? Thanks.
Hazte un canal en español
I did not receive this video I hope I,m still on your subscribers list. Mac Phillips
Honestamente no logro hacer diferencia entre " el tumbao de Papo" y cualquier otro tumbao de hijo de vecino. Creo que si hay diferencias entre los estilos de Ray Barreto, Poncho Sanchez, Mongo Santamaria pero tienen que ver mas especificamente con el tipo de tambor que estan usando. Ejemplo: chequeen el tamaño del tambor de Poncho, chequeen el sonido del tambor de Mongo, chequeen el stilo de golpear el tambor de Ray
But Papo Pepin has another tumbao and He used it when he played with Roberto Roena...For me that tumbao is better than this tumbao on your vídeo...If you listened "Hay que saber comenzar" o "Que se sepa"...you will know what I am telling you...check audios and vídeos about RR and PP together...
A Percusion, todo lo que dices hubiera sonado mejor en español, como latinos nos entenderías mejor
Speaking of tumbaos... Dont forget the Great Angel "Cachete" Maldonado.
Angel L. Martinez YESSSS!!! 🙌🏽
@@APercussionLife i second that Cachete!
The very first time I listened Papo Pepin was in this video in the min 9:40 ua-cam.com/video/I3TLk3E4Bp8/v-deo.html. I totally was impacted the way he performed and sincronized whit the tempo and the rest of the band. Then I re play from the begen this song and I totaly listened all his perform over the rest of the instrument, stromgly. If you have some comment, let me know!
Awesome vid Bro! Papo Pepin is one hell of a conguero legend that is for sure! Here is a quick link which shows that he is talked about among THE conguero legends which is not small feat!: slamanater.com/masters/living-masters/i-p/papo-pepin/
Anyway Eric Happy New Year and stay cool Bro!
Crap. It’s time to buy a quinto 😓
Eric, "El Sabio" tengo que decirte. Joven y humilde y un general en la percusión. Dios te bendiga siempre. No Cambies mano. Un regalo de un viejo timbero. Enjoy brother.
