Rumba guaguanco Matanzas style Free lesson by Michael de Miranda 

Great demonstration Michael. I'm teaching my Afro-Cuban Ensemble Percussionist with your video. Thank you so much!

Your videos answer questions to the hard to find answers and to the questions I don't know to ask. Thank you for sharing your in-depth knowledge. You are a blessing to a 77 year old "frustrated conguero".

the goat! I’ve been able to help out my orisa family here in chicago through your videos brother! Your instructions is some of the best on YT. I find great drummers and great teachers don’t always come in the same package but you are it

Excellent as always Michael, once again you nail the rhythm true to its roots and with all of the flavor!

Great teachibg you so instrumental I love how you have so much patience in breaking everything down every player has a roll to play on this rythm

Thanks for this excellent class for beginner's Rumba..there aren't many player this "humble" to teach without showing off their muscles...

I'm not serprize you should been viral in your channel because it's hard to find a teacher like you it don't exsiste but only you I'm shore there many that will teach a part but not like you you teach it all I hope you chanell grow more you deserve it!!!?!

Love your content plus rhythm The Spanish 😅😅😊😊

Wonderful 👍 work wow incredible your teaching is so easy but is not ? practice must take place to master this well know matanza style guaganco rumba

Thanks, Ray!! I'm glad you're still enjoying my video's!! Best wishes, Michael

Thank you so much for this amazing work Michael!! You are amazing!

When you feel you have no rhythm...place your hand upon your heart. I do not read music or know what you are saying about times, beats or accents, however, when I hear a rhythm I feel it and can duplicate it. I am amazed at how you can conceptualize so many rhythms, their styles, histories, relationships and nuances. What would be the benefits of my learning to read music to latin percussion. I just know something sounds cool and is fun to play. Merci beaucoup Mike. DMB

I love the way you explain it, my respects

Awesome, Michael!!! You never stop surprising me, you are great!! Best wishes, Ray

Your welcome! I understand what you mean. When I teach, I try to help others and not showing off what I can play. So, I'm glad you enjoyed the lesson!

Thanks for this great tutorial.

awesome have fun while I learn, I congratulate you, your videos are very helpful, especially when learning to play congas.thank you

Thank you for your comments!! The logo is new and I'm busy making an app. Perhaps I'll use this logo for it..... Have fun!

Hopi bon!! I'm glad you showed the tres golpe the correct starting the chapeo on the &1, with a Base Base. Perfect!, btw...I like you new "MdM Music" logo Many Thanks

Thank you very much! If you feel the rhythms, them it is good! That is the most important thing and of course enjoying the music! Have fun with it!

Thank you!

Thank you very much!!

Thanks a lot!!

Yes, I'm trying to make an app. Well, actually a friend is making it, because I'm just a musician and not an appmaker. First we will try to make ann app about Cuban rhythms and later a Brazilian one. I'll keep you informed!

great stuff!

great thank you

Michael, You have great pedgogy. I'm looking forward to more of your videos. I'd really like to see some improv techniques with salsa (congas and bongos). Thanks Madeleine

Muchas gracias lo voy a usar en mis clases. Me gustaría conocerlo.

gracias por el vídeo muy bueno congratulations y saludos

Oh gosh. I've just ralized I was playing the conga mufles (chapeo) the wrong way starting on beat 1. Which of course is a tricky thing to correct... so if the rhythm is writtten in 4/4 the 1st note (left palm) start on the "a" of the 4 (4e&a/1e&a.....)can you confirm that? thank you

All of your videos are great and very informative, thank you. You mentioned you're making an app. Is it related to your conga tutorials here on youtube? Anything to make it easier to practice is always most welcome. Thanks again and keep up the good work. I look forward to studying your vids in detail.

Hola Michael!!. Muy buenas tus clases. Para cuando Candombe Uruguayo? Abrazo

Thank you, Madeleine. Are you playing in a band?

Yes, you are right. The first left palm is on the 4 a. The first right palm is on the one. I hope you can get you're old way of playing out of your system...

What claves are those? They sound lovely! :)
