SAMBA LESSON FOR BONGO

Back


The samba originated in the northern Brazilian state of Salvador and then spread to the Caribbean and beyond. Mastering the samba rhythm on bongo is a very important step in fluently playing within the various genres of music from eastern Cuba, as well as hip hop, funk, reggaeton and beyond. In this lesson, I begin by showing the basic samba pattern for the bongo; then I improvise by immersing myself within a matrix which includes afro, samba, merengue and a touch of 6/8 and 5/8 thrown in for good measure. Enjoy!

I'm also drumming and my favourite bongos are made in Germany by Schlagwerk Percussion. They are called wooden bongos because they are completely made of wood and have a very special nice sound. Besides they look very nice and pimp up every setup by their unique sound.
