Conga Master Joe Frost - The Sweetest Feel on Rumba Quinto
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 вер 2024
- Joe Frost was known for his sweet song on the quinto, the high-pitched solo drum in Afro-Cuban Rumba music. "Joe Jams" were renown throughout the Chicago and Phoenix areas for smokin' hot conga sessions. This is a nice stripped-down Rumba Guaguanco that really showcases Joe's sweet feel for the quinto.
For Joe, it was all about the rhythm. We never played for dancers and rarely had singers. It was always all about the song of the quinto.
Masterful hands and beautiful spirit.
Scott Nicolow, conga drums.

In a minute...
When you look eachother in the eyes while playing it's just pure love and energy flowing through your body. The rythm connects you, flows through your veins and creates pure joy.
Beautifully observed and written...YES, YES, YES
That's the wawanko that flows and I can understand
Rumba Gaugaunco, indeed!
Old School. Reminds me of back in the days in Puerto Rico…. The Projects. Wepa
I take that as a complement. Anything Old School is good with me.
Good rumba
Much appreciated.
Good job guys!
Bravi!!
His style is unique N he flows better than other Congo players I listen too
I did find another one today only in Havana he flows goid too but he transitioned 2015
I agree with your sentiments. Joe has also been gone for about ten years. Please share a link for the Havana player.
I love Joe's style the most of any conga player I've ever heard. Check this one out. Way more laid back. ua-cam.com/video/Vq8yhyHUXRA/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared

if any instrumentalist were to study this man’s rhythmic dictionary and time flow they could take over the game
Now we're on the same page (just in case we weren't). His time flow is/was like no other. I've searched the globe, and can't find anyone with such splendid feel. I witnessed many first hand including Giovanni. I am always just as impressed with Giovanni and other drummers with insane chops, as I am with body builders. Cool man, how many hours/days/months/years did you beat on a piece of wood (life a weight) to get like that? You sure are fast (buff), but you ain't got no feel!
@@scottnicolowWe don’t get paid to play fast, we get paid to hear fast.

Gratitude.
Es una llamada por Puerto Rico, es para ti, Jose, si, que tu quieres ?, mas timbre de vaca, me encanto mas timbre de vaca, necesito mas timbre de vaca !
Ironically, none of these recordings have any cowbell.
Why the quinto is lower than the two tumbadoras used for the rhythm?
It sounds most excellent to me. It is up the maestro to tune his instrument.
@@scottnicolow it sounds excellent to me as well, i was just wondering if there was any specific reason to tune it lower
@@Pelleditamburo No reason that I'm aware of.
@@scottnicolow thanks for your reply, Mamady definitely one of the grand Masters of djembe of all times...i now follow and study with Sekouba Oulare!
It's not tuned lower : )
Joe frost still around makin sound?
Sadly, he's been gone for about ten years.

Happy happy, joy joy.
All you need is some lyrics other wise the rumba doesn't have the same feeling .
We almost never had singing or dancing at Joe Jams. And definitely not rumba dancers. Joe sang on the quinto. I've hung with others who do the whole shebang with Spanish songs and the traditional dances. I much prefer what we did with Joe. His lyrics are on the quinto.
Too busy. No cubano like dis. Quinto spose to sing in spots.
Sure, when you have dancers and singers, the quinto fills in. In this case, the quinto IS the singer.
@@scottnicolow no, you play too much. Back off. You are no Cuban~
Sorry, I'm sensitive about my Master. Here's one that has more space. Please notice the comments. ua-cam.com/video/3F99-blCmvs/v-deo.html
This one has more space, as well. ua-cam.com/video/Vq8yhyHUXRA/v-deo.html
Los Cubano no vemos la música como el resto del mundo.
Quizás porque es nuestra cultura musical.
Aunque nos guste lo que otros tocan aunque lo hagan mal jijiji 😜
