  • In salsa music bongo is a instrument that has a lot of freedom. When you know how to play the martillo, you start making variations. In this video are some examples for beginners.

    Michael, I thought you might like to hear my story. So, a couple years ago, someone gave me a set of bongos, which sat around my house for a long time collecting dust. One day I found one of your videos, and slowly taught myself how to play them. I'm primarily a piano player, and learning the martillo rhythm got me interested in playing piano montunos, which in turn got me interested in Jazz. So, I started studying Jazz seriously with a Jazz studies professor at the local university, and ended up playing piano in a Salsa and Latin Jazz band directed by him, made up of some university students and some local professional musicians. We've been going for about a year now, and are starting to get real gigs. It's been a real life changing experience for me, being able to play this type of music with a band, and it's been amazing for the rhythmic aspect of my playing. Anyway, thank you. There was luck involved with happening to be in the right place at the right time for the band, but it probably would never have come to pass without watching this video and others like it.

    Many people think like I used to, that playing a bongo was just to pretend that you are in the jungles of Africa beating a drum like a mad with no order. Then when you see the pentagram next to a bongo you realize this is something serious. I started loving the bongos when I first saw a bachata group performing in my town In the Dominican Republic, since then when I see performers like you I realize more and more that the road is long but full of satisfaction. There is no instrument so versatile and free than bongos. Thank you for your patient and repiques.

    Michael. This video is excelent. I'm learning to play bongo and this is exactly what I was needing. Now, I would like to ask you if you could do one with bongo variations for "bachata" style of music. Thanks again!

    Dank je Michael. Erg leuke variaties. Ik ben pas net begonnen, en hou heel erg van de vrijheid in het bongo spelen. Jouw variaties geven me een mooie uitbreiding op mijn eigen brouwsels. :)

    Thank you Gevorg! The teaching and musician part is not difficult, but the filming, editing, lighting is something else..... I really focus on this, because it is not really my thing.... So thank you for your compliments!!
