How to Play Afro-Cuban Styles on Congas by "Kachiro" Thompson Part 4

When we approached Kachiro Thompson about making some videos he had a clear idea of what he wanted to do. He didn't want to play a bunch of rolls and flashy stuff. Instead he wanted to show rhythms on the congas with the aspiring percussionist in mind. Here is the third part of the series of videos. In this one Kachiro is demonstrating Bolero, Cumbia and Comparsa. We hope you find it useful.

Loved the little callback to "Manteca" starting at 3:12 (and thrown in sparingly after that) :)

Sensational,I believe the tuning is Tumbadora G ,Quinto C ,the Conga,on his left, is Bb.
