How To Play Bossa Nova on Congas

Here's a simple breakdown of the TWO variations of Bossa Nova I decided to use in my recent collaboration with Cajon Master. Link to the vide below. Again as I mentioned in the video... playing Bossa Nova on congas has a lot to do with dynamics and feel. You can hear how I use both of the variations later in the video playing along with what is known as the "Brazilian Clave".
*If you don't want to hear a bit of history and where the variations were inspired by, skip to 4:09

Best tutorial I've seen online on how to play bossa nova congas. What made it so good was that you explain in detail, how and when to mute and which hands to use and you break down each beat into segments. I could play these almost immediately thanks to your excellent tutorial! Many thanks man.

Samba and Bossa can have a essential gentleness. That is not always, but when it is present it provides an unique comfort and consolation. Thank you for this excellent demo.

Man, you never fail to inspire, Eric. By the way. I am waiting on my new Manito Percussion heads, my first from these good folks, to arrive in the mail. Swen hooked me up and I let them know that it is you and your channel that turned me on to their skins. Can’t wait to try these boss’s nova variations on the chocolate, Middle Eastern skins I ordered. Whoa!! All the best, brother. Waterman

Oh I love bossa nova and now after watching this I'm wishing I had bought a third conga. Agh but budgets and the fact that I'm just starting to actually learn means I should take it easy ...

I was getting ready to start playing 3 congas and this is really a nice beginning piece to work on. 3 wks ago I fell at work and broke my wrist. NO drumming for me, at least another 2 wks. I practice Bossa rhythms with Elite Backing Rhythms here on You Tube. Lots of choices as far as how many BPM’s. Cool way to practice what I learn from your vids. Cool stuff, thanks 🙏

@felicerosser5400 3 жыл бұрын

Love this!! One very tiny critique .is that the the pattern should start with one one on dominant hand and then got to two because the first note is a pick up note and when a band starts everyone should start on one.. Love these patterns though, Really great!! Thank you

Could you do a video on how to play bossa nova patterns for bongos aswell? Would be highly appreciated!

@andrewbloom9218 3 жыл бұрын

Is there a reason to bring the non-dominant hand back to the conga to play the ghost note vs. just staying on the tumba which seems more intuitive and less choppy?

@elielramos5597 4 жыл бұрын

Se que has hecho vídeos de como afinar las percuciones pero no encuentro afinarlas con un afinador cromático para Android. De que otra manera puedo afinar las congas? Gracias

@macfinster3 3 жыл бұрын

This is beautiful but the first open tone is a pickup (&one) the second open tone is the one, I believe.

@Antonio-ti2he 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you for the video. It seems like the 2 has the slap and the 3 is a rest with the "+" of 3 with the open tone. The 4 has the ghost note. Is that right? This is the pattern at the 10 minute mark.

@sambac2053 4 жыл бұрын

You can play that as a thickening part on a Bossa, but it's not a Bossa part. If other percussion is not phrasing from characteristic Samba vocabulary, ,there's nothing about goto mama goto papa that makes it Bossa. The first part you're playing is essentially Calypso. The 3rd version makes more sense.

Bossa nova is and was never played with cajons because cajons are not used in Brazilian music. With all due respect, the rhythmic patterns played in the cajon, and even in the congas do not match or sound close to the samba rhythms played anywhere in Brazil.
