I have watched Mr. Caro "live" many times and he is just a wonderfull percussionist. His timbal playing is amazing!!!......that is why L.P. recognizes him.
I always have tapped by fingers and hands on things around the house to go with music for YEARS! I came across a 1960's bongo in an antique store and I had to get it because I LOVE LOVE LOVE RHYTHM and this style (didn't pin point until this past year that it was Cuban style that most moves me-forgive me for not knowing) but it Always stirrs me up inside! I am a woman, a mother, and beginner at 41, but I don't care because my heart is and has always been in rhythm that I jst feel I've got to step out and express seriously. Sorry if I sound so damned dramatic, but I LOVE this music liand like air, I need it. Thank you for inspiring me and giving me something to work on in addition to another beginner video by Edgardo.
I hear you loud n clear C.M.B. For most of my life I have been 'infected' by the latin beat. I have had plenty of time to just go and buy a set of Bongo's and start playing - but somehow music was always what other people did - not me. However, four years back I pulled the trigger and bought my first Bongo's. After about six months of doing my own thing I found that it was the 'wrong thing' and had to re-train myself with the help of the RU-vid tutorials. The many great teachers on here have taken me from being an old guy 'wannabe' Bongocero to someone that can actually play Bongo's pretty good. And guess what? Its time for practice again!
Love this pattern so fun to play on bongos! Since advanced I add my own style to it along with yes congas! Gotta love my LP Giovanni galaxy bongos & congas! When starting out LP Aspire bongos they are not bad at all! Carlos you are a great teacher keep up the great work for those starting out!
Professor Carlos gracia por el lección, soy tu vecino en Las Islas vírgenes. Your lessons has made me a much better bongo player. Please keep feeding us with those spectacular hand patterns. Que mucho me gusta. One Love my brother.
Excelente concepto, excelente tecnica y excelente pedagogia, bendiciones para ti Carlos Caro!!! Gracias LP Bendiciones martin Cohen por tan buenos aportes!!!
Hi and thank you! This clarified some things for me! Very helpful!! (By the way, to the people complaining, there are videos for the absolute beginner but you have to input the word "beginner". This tutorial is for people who know how to play and want to get better.)
This cat here… he is the guy. He’s been around for ages. Back when he still lived in Cuba he played with some famous/popular bands over there (but due to him being so cool and humble he doesnt make it a point to inject that little fact in his videos). In fact, if you look up an old video on youtube of Paulito FG live on cuban tv singing his hit “Tu No Me Calculas”, take a good look at the bongocero… its none other Carlos Caro himself (of course, much younger looking haha)
Bien maestro,eso es vital,comparto su criterio de hablar del martillo cosa que no habia visto en otros videos publicados por you,pero el martillo es lo esencial a la hora de tocar bongo,y es la base para llavar cualquier ritmo con ese instrumento,eso siempre me decian mis maestros Jorge Maturell "Coli" y Willian Viera,sin BONGO bien tocado NO HAY musica...Felicitaciones..
Cuando están dando la explicación con la clave, está cruzado con la clave... o estoy equivocado? Que alguien me corrija si estoy equivocado... cuando está tocando con el tema de fondo, si está tocando con clave.
Wow... Yo soy aficionado a la percusión pero me falta soltarme como el excelentísimo Carlos que le da con un flow increíble... Eso como se logra, yo sé hacer martiyo y uno que otro repique pero este msn es un maestro, le da con una fluidez tremenda
sí pudiera sacar otro video, respecto a los diferentes bongos. Yo tengo un matador al que no puedo sacarle ese sonido tan sabroso! Dependerá de los cueros., Gracias
Vaya hno. de Cuba" yo tengo esos parches hand picks and bregan.Saludo BORINCANO. esas campanas grandes de borde grueso abajo son melaza. usted es un bongocero..."ñoo
I wish the company would have allowed you more time for each example, but I guess I'll make do. By the way, Carlos, I tried to contact you for lessons but I have not been able to reach you. How to contact you?
porque el video está hecho para todo el mundo, No para unos cuantos cubanos o latinos...aunque yo lo traducería al chino: Zxe, zin suan cho Chi sen qu wy' ňon Chuan cho!! ahí dije: Ojo, esto va en clave dos tres!!!!
Luis gustavo Rojas becauze he has American speaking audience two on RU-vid you get all types of nationality watching RU-vid sorry I don't read Spanish just a little bit
If you mean in big band Latin music there’s so much to know, you must know how to tune it so it communicate properly with the other percussion instruments, you must know the position of the rhythms and it's patterns in relation to the Clave, you must know when to improvise and when to keep time and when to pick up the bell I went to put the belt back down and play the bongo again. I suggest listening to a lot of classic salsa music from Cuba and New York and you’ll start to get it!
+fijimorgan I hear you there man. As a beginner I did notice that. What I do is use the options and lower the speed of the video so I can that way break it down myself. Not everyone can be as good as Michael de Miranda teaching! :-)
@@ikooch1 It appears that Al does not play bongos in the traditional style is played in Cuba and in salsa music. He uses very limited number of tones and rhythms compared to what are used traditionally and doesn’t seem to approach the traditional rhythms that are used by professional or folkloric bongo players.
