Candombe is an Uruguayan music and dance style originating with African slaves. Candombe is to Uruguay what Rumba is to Cuba and Samba to Brazil - the national rhythm. This Uruguayan music style is based on three different Candombe drums: chico, repique and piano drums. For this video lesson, Edgardo will teach you how to incorporate tumbadora drums and also explain a key rhythmic figure in candombe similar to the clave (in 3-2 form) that is played on the side of the drum, a procedure known as "hacer madera" ("making wood").

Candombe music is usually played in February during carnival in Montevideo, Uruguay at dance parades called "Llamadas" and "Desfile Innaugural del Carnaval". Visit dancepapi.com for more free conga tutorials.
