How To Play Plena on 2 Congas
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- IT'S TUTORIAL THURSDAY!!!
Plena! Plena! PLENA!!!
We're talking briefly about one of my favorite rhythms... PLENA!!! This is just one of the many variations and styles this Folkloric rhythm has to offer... This pattern was one I learned throughout the years, but is obviously non-traditional...
It's a great pattern to learn to work on your independence and to expose you to a different flavor when it comes to the congas.
*TUTORIAL STARTS AT 4:13
I hope y'all enjoy this one. Tell me what you think...

I am Puerto Rican and have played plena on congas for at least 40 years. You have done a beautiful job, my brother. You have done very sweet variations. You are right about developing independence. I love your work. Que viva la raza Latina!
Dimitri Hernandez Thanks Dimitri!!!
You are not puertorican but you have done a great job. I appreciate what you do for music . Specially for latin music. Thank you for what you do for our plena. God bless, from a puertorican.
Luis Reyes Wow! Thank you Luis!
There it is my favorite rhythm
You explained it nicely. From the Bronx I am feeling so Puerto Rican more than ever. This rhythm was used by local folks as news of the day in the streets like a town crier back in the day.

Thanks again Eric! I checked Giovanni Hidalgo plena tutorial and he plays the slaps on the center of the drums instead of the "normal way". Does this kind of slap have a different sound/effect? I find really difficult to get it. Keep posting these nice videos. I am a fan!

I have two congas LP. One is small and the other is bigger. What note should these congas be on so that they have the same size. I see that both your congas look the same size.
Nice bro, let’s see some Songo from Changuito
