The Original Mozambique was created by Pello El Afrocán in Cuba in the early 60'. I lived it as a kid and it was a big sensation, and the rhythm came with a specific move to dance it... Later it was copied in New York as all of the rest of the Cuban music.... New York played the music that was happening in Cuba....
Ñongo is the name. It's pronounced knee-on-go. Not nonigo. It is a rhythm traditionally played on the Bata drums and sounds very different from what this gentleman is playing. Sometimes feel like this guy is trolling us.
Don't let this guy fool you. He has a good sound and movement but the information he gives aswell as the explanation and counting of the rythms are very wrong. example: there are 401 Orishas. (you need 4 lifetimes to study and practice) He's also a teacher at a college!$!@$@ don't pass this information to other people. Check sides like congahead or other reliable sites. Sorry sir, it don't mean a thing if you ain't got the right information.
@@alpollard21 , anybody who has studied a little afrocuban percussion and music would easily see that this guy has no knowledge about Ñanigo/Abacuá rhythm or conga technique within that tradition. "Derbeno" is so right. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2g-qcs0Rv-Q.html
How is the counting playing it with a song?? where is the one?? Can you please record a video with playing a CD and playing this rhythm with it? Thanks, I like the rhythm alot!!
I could never feel this rhythm as "1 e and a 2 e and a 3 e and a 4 e and a". It's treble, not duple,. I feel it as "1 and a 2 and a 3 and a 4 and a" simultaneously with "1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 5 and 6 and".
Hey saludos a todos los que justan de la musica alguien me puede dar nombres de canciones como salsas, pachanga,montunos,ñañigo,calypso,baiao,plena ya que no encuentro por mas que busco, se los agradecere bastante y buena vibra.
It's a little misleading to say it's 16th notes. Technically it's true, but only if you consider it as a 3 beat cycle. That way you have 12 subdivisions divided into 3 groups of 16th notes, which is equivalent to 12 subdivisions divided into 4 groups of 3: 12/8, which is what you said at the beginning of the video!
3 vs 4, 6 vs 8 polyrhythms, 6/8, 12/8, its all the same pulse. The starting point is different but its still the same. 3 pulses in the same space as 4 pulses. Accents played in groups of 3 superimposed over groups of 4 16th notes creates that feel. Polyrhythms man!! Check out Kim Plainfield.
