Learn to Play Congas in 15 Minutes

Overview

How would you like to learn to play the "Congas in just 15 minutes"? I'm excited to share this new approach to learning for almost anyone of any age. Known as "Tumbao", "Marcha" or "Rhythm Pattern", you can learn to play this basic Conga pattern used in most popular music today in just 15 minutes. In this two-hour audience participation show, I take you through the history of how the Conga drums have influenced American Music (8 minutes), followed by the "15 minute Conga" lesson, and 60 to 70 minute audience play along to rhythms such as Jazz, Rock, Latin, Soul, Funk, R&B and Pop. During the show, I'll also play several Conga Rhythyms from my recently published book. Participants will take home a printed copy free of charge of the music they just learned, to practice at home. No experience needed. Learn to play the most popular rhythm patterns and learn to READ THE NOTES "GUARANTEED". Play along for an experience like no other. This is an audience participation show

Play Congas was all, a WOW experience, from beginning to end. It was all put together better than any lesson, and as well as any Las Vegas show, and you learned how to play the congas! Incredible. This is something that would appeal not only to a conga player but any musician. History of the congas was covered from the islands to the mainland, and with all their different rhythms and styles. It was amazing that once some basics were taught, we were playing to Latin, pop, and jazz recordings. It wasn't easy for me but Manny was very patient and got me through all of it.
