Luis Conté: Live at PAS: Drum Video

Luis Conté has taken the Afro-Cuban tradition on hand percussion and applied it to all styles of music. Here he explains his approach to learning the tradition, and then making it your own. Luis' philosophy is "Learn the roots, then do what you feel." One dynamic segment of this tape includes a brilliant solo performance on congas, bongos, timbales, bells, chimes, shakers, shkere, tambourine and cajon which includes the following rhythms: marcha, songo, Afro-Cuban 6/8, abakuá and martillo.
