Miguel "Anga" Diaz is by far one of my Favorite Congueros of ALL TIME...
His Style, His Enthusiasm, His Unique Interpretation toward the instrument I most love is what made him stand amongst ALL the greats. And His Mozambique on the Congas is an example of that.
This is for him.

He came at my very small appartment in the mid nineties in Paris I was 20 or some and was making Drum&Bass with Steve Arguelles (Uk drummer-Plush recordings). I didn’t know who « Anga » was. He came in a Sunday morning, installed his set up : 2 congas, 1 Bell hit by a pedal. My neighbors and I were used to « high levels » when making music in my home studio... but... when he started to play... I had goussbump ! It was soooooo loud, the man had such power... but it was so good... I decided it was worth waiting for the police. Nobody came. Unforgettable. And as you can see, since I was pretty nobody, the man was ultra open to meet and share, work with all kind of people and background... when he was already pretty big.

Eric, I consider myself well versed in the history of Afro-Cuban music, specifically the great congueros. You are definitely a student of your craft and your delivery is rather unique, because you go deep into the history of the conguero, his style, the era they played, their lineage, and so on. You just add something special as a teacher. Siga adelante mi hermano.

@hopelessstrlstfan181 6 жыл бұрын

Thanks. You know what would be great? You playing this pattern with a recording of the clave playing behind it. It is all about context. I could learn this pattern in isolation and miss where it fits in with the clave. For example, a lot of conga patterns start on the off beat, does this one? We sort of need the clave to tell us the context. Any way, you are a great player and teacher.

@darylbelcher2500 6 жыл бұрын

I second this! Angá's first note is for the bombo, so the second beat of clave on the 3 side. Here it sounds more like it's on the beat. No hate though, still love this channel and the transcription is 100% with those extra slaps.

@josephmcdermott6426 3 жыл бұрын

Yes I 3rd this comment. The pattern starts on the bombo and ponche on the tumba. To the uninitiated it would be quite easy to lose where beat 1 is. Again, no hate at all. Just think it’s important to make this clear

Bro I do have to give it to you. your video is very nice, the quality of the sound of the voice is very nice, and the way you’re teaching the pattern was really good you’re almost like me! Hahaha.... It’s hard to impress me, so good job! lol... I have been playing with salsa and merengue bands for over 20 years and love mozambique. I’m not fond of the first 4 slaps in this pattern. I like three slaps and then a drop. But I do have to say this video inspired me to upload my tutorial that I started a few years back and never uploaded it. Nice work! Chat with you soon! Peace!

Man, that was incredible. Unfortunately he passed away a few years later as you mentioned, way too early. I like your videos and will use your holidays to catch up with some you posted earlier.

The way I learned his was that you would add a slap, not open, for the note just before the 2-side of the clave (e.g. the three open high notes). He even plays it that way in the sample video. Cool video though.

Anga was a monster! This pattern has similarities with the NY Style Mozambique by Tommy Lopez from the Eddie Palmieri band in the early 60's, which is shorter than the original one from Pello el Afrokan. Either way Bro your demonstration of Anga is excellent as always! Have a great vacation y GOZALO!

Hi Eric. Love your channel and am a subscriber. On this video, was hoping you would point out that you are starting the pattern on the bombo note of the clave. It would clarify how the rhythm flows melodically. It can mistakenly be interpreted as starting on the one, instead of the "and after the two" (the bombo). Thanks for posting though.

wonderful great breakdown brother eric, great way to learn and appreciate how you throw down respect for the master's source and the influences and information! Yo... a few thoughts... addressing how this aligns with rumba clave would be super helpful too, I had actually watched the Anga Diaz video first, then found you... he counts it in with 3... so I'm wondering if that's just his thing or he's feeling the pattern beginning on 4th beat on 3 side of clave? Also the low conga is pattern is considered the tumba right... GREAT work man ~ te lo agredezco mucho!

@AndrewMacLeay_Esq 3 жыл бұрын

That's exactly right - he comes in after beat 3, right before beat 4, with the second note of the 3 on the 3 side of a 2-3 clave. To be honest this video confused me a bit because it doesn't address where the rhythm sits against the clave and it sounds like the first tumba note should be right on beat 1. Still helpful to get the breakdown but having the clave would help!

Hello Brother !! I have no doubt that you are a good conguero, but if you look at good congueros, they don't usually wear watches or rings when they play. You know, just constructive criticism.
