IT'S TUTORIAL THURSDAY!!!
Sooo today we're talking about how to learn and develop a 6/8 feel on Congas through a simple exercise. This exercise references a "Bembe" pattern or feel, but its not the actual pattern itself although sounds similar. This is meant as an exercise for beginners trying to understand "6/8" feel.
Example of some songs to Listen to:
Mongo Santamaria's Afro Blue- • Mongo Santamaria "Afro...
Francisco Aguabella- Yemaya- • Yemaya - Francisco Agu...
Ilu Aye- • In the Studio with Ilu...

Hey Maestro!! U will be surprised to know that I have already been doing this Exercise since long!! Even I am surprised to realise that!! This is may be due to most of the Indian Music is based on 6/8 feel!! So this Exercise automatically came from within!! Thank U for showing it to the Community!! Thank U E. "Proffessor" Perez!!

Interesting - Edgardo Cambon uploaded a video on Rumba Columbia (6/8) this very day. Coincidence? I think not. More like synchronicity (great conga players think alike). ;) Thanks Eric - as usual very helpful!

Great! Abakaua, Njongo, Bembé, Rumba Columbia, Arará, Congo Cyclo and so on. It would be great, if you can present these styles and some Batá rhythms. See above. Greetings from Berlin.

How about tutorials of Shuffle Grooves next time? When I watched the late Jeff Porcaro's instructional drumming video, he explains many things about shuffles, including half-time, double-time, double half-time, etc etc, and I think tutorial about shuffles are also essential to learn how do we play them on congas and bongos.

Just a suggestion, accompanying music in conjunction with your tutorial- (just a small section), would be so helpful. Just an idea which would be helpful to strugglers.
