How to Play the Bongo, Part One 

This gentleman is obviously a historian of Afro/Latin music. Thank you so much for the history.

Wise wealth of words from a seasoned master drummer, teacher, community builder and all-around hip cat: Bobby Sanabria. Thank you JALC Jazz Academy.

Wow this feels like music classes with a real teacher, can't wait to learn everything about its history too!

First bongos at age 60. Vintage Hondo. Very exciting. THANK YOU for this lesson and history.

Quality introduction to bongos; great teacher.

Thank you for the history on the Bongos. Much appreciated.

First bongos at 54! And yes the history was so very interesting! Thank you !

Thank you so much for the history of this instrument

Love my LP Giovanni galaxy bongos they are the best bongos I know of today! I used to when starting out LP Aspire bongos & they are wonderful quality not junk at all but sold them for someone else to enjoy since professional at bongos. I also have the LP Giovanni galaxy congas love them & yes my LP Aspire congas blend nicely with my galaxy congas crazy but I tuned them to blend so miss fussy over conga & bongo sound nailed the Aspire congas to blend in with my LP Giovanni galaxy congas so glad it worked! You play very well & learned from you in the past so thanks for your help then & now advanced to professional!

!thanks a lot, I love ur lesson

Muchas gracias por la clase. I'm trying to expand my playing ability on the bongos . it's slow going pero eventually I'll get .saludos a todos .que las pasen bien .

So how do you play the basic pattern? Was hoping for a break down of what the hands are doing in order to learn proper technique.

First bongos at 16. Now I am 63. Have 3 bongoses.Lp Fiberglass Bongos, Lp Matador Bongos and Pearl fiberglass Bongos.

BX TITAN alias Edgar Cintron and luis b, learn brother ,

Great history...but I did not learn the martillo, LOL. It's OK it's not hard to find martillo lessons. I learned alot here.

It's not a bad video but the title is a little misleading. Maybe something like The origins of the Bongo would fit.

the tittle is about how to play and bongo not learning about history.

Too much talking!!
