Oh Michael!!! I have been following your videos for a yrs now. I doubt you remember that I play in a Samba Band. Batucada all percussion. I have used your Rebolo videos and some others so I can really hear the Samba in this video! And the Bossa Nova clave as well. As a conga player I just love this video. I am playing congas at church weekly, and at a monthly Jazz group. ( old pop ‘Jazz’) Our music director used to have a band that played a lot of Bossa Nova tunes, and we do some Bossa Nova music in church as well. I have some work cut out for me to incorporate the bongos. I bought your book and DVD for Samba/Afro Blockos for our Samba band but it really haven’t been used 😢. I am still trying to get our Samba group to do some Samba Pagoge. Thank You so much for your sharing your talents.
I am glad to hear that you try to use the information from my videos and my book. I wish you all the best and I hope you have fun in playing those great rhythms!
