Bembe produced by Isla Percussion

A bembe using the very fine drums made by Mario of Isla Percussion. I saw his work shop and some of his drums. They are beautiful. Great folkloric sound. I bought a quinto! He also makes bongos. islapercussions.com/

Beautiful, resilient African Culture that has survived in Latin America/Caribbean. Much love to the Africanos of Latin America/Caribbean who kept our cultures alive even at the cost of their lives. Ase...

6/8 rhythm penetrates way down to the innermost recesses of my mind, body & soul. Thank you Mama Afrika for all the blessings.

[@command49.1game6]

So different than what you normally hear. Different instruments. The badass fact that it's 6/8. And it doesn't feel like 3/4 (grouping 2 notes instead of 3). Soooooper cool!

[@EDtheIslander]

Baya el ritmo mas sabroso que hay El Bembe,y con unos tambores y unos interpretes pa quitarse el sombrero.

[@MiketheNerdRanger]

It's great how you can see everyone starting to loosen up as the performance goes on. The guy at the end was feeling it from start to finish, the woman in the blue was totally grooving by minute three. The guy on the first drum started loosening up around the same time, and even the guy in the middle that looked like he didn't wanna even be here starts to crack a smirk near the end.

[@OverSooll]

Damn that's Eddy from LA I used to sing along in tambores like 20 years ago

[@chrispantazi81]

Whether it’s Bembe being played beautifully by masters like these in perfect ternary and binary time cycles simultaneously or an Orthodox Christian icon of the resurrection; the core idea(s) are the same fundamentally. The idea being the ultimate triumph and transcendence of the intangible ternary/spiritual nature and propensity of human kind over this temporal, binary world. Time spent being consciously present in these moments reminds us What is truly important. I suggest David Penalosa’s book the “Clave matrix” and “ rhumba quinto” (ie pt. 2). Clave Matrix changed me forever.

[@michaelarndt1961]

I like to set this afro cuban music straight this music originated in africa.because of the slave trade it went to Cuba and the Caribbean. So get it together and know where it came from

[@KalpaHettiarachchi]

Great

[@xxxslayerxxx666]

my dream is to be in a drum circle and be the guy improvising in the middle! cause i love experimenting with how certain signatures or modulations sound over ostinato's but my ideas are too complex for me to play! i want a drummer that can keep in time no matter how much i shake up the feel! it comes natural to me, i've always had an understanding of how you can change the feel of a song by playing off of the down beat and up beat, it's like i'm singing through my playing, it's beautiful!

[@polpaul1]

bravo bravissimo

A pesar de que este ritmo fue traido a Cuba por los esclavos Africanos e indiscutiblemente forma parte de la cultura y folkore Cubanos y teniendo el legitimo derecho de reclamarlo como nuestro, siempre reconoceremos que vino de Africa.Nosotros los hijos de Cuba, no necesitamos robarle musica ni ritmos musicales a ningun pais ; Siempre que hemos interpretado musica ajena , lo hemos declarado. A pesar de ser un pais tan pequeño, percapitamente hablando, es el pueblo que mas generos musicales a creado. Exorto a aquellos fascinerosos usurpadores que se retracten de reclamar como propios ciertos ritmos que indiscutiblemente son genuinamente Cubanos; Verguenza os debiera dar el querer usurpar lo que otro sembro y logro con sacrificio. Nosotros los Cubanos amamos que cualquier persona del mundo toque y disfrute nuestra musica; como no?Pero no trates de adueñarte de lo que es ajeno, de lo que tomo a generaciones de musicos crear y desarrollar, y que luego venga cierta gentusa a bautizatlos de nuevo y cambiarles el nombre; Acaso no les da verguenza? Aprovechen pues, inmorales ladrones ya que todo ,eventualmente regresara a la normalidad y lo nuestro sera reconocido por fin como NUESTRO"....😉

[@avatacron60]

100% de acuerdo!

[@pitopito64]

Does anybody can help me with undertsanding exactly what is this? 1) Youruba chant for Orisha Eleggua played with congas instead of bata? If so what toque is it? 2) Rumba columbia? 3)....what else? Thanks

[@Meymeygwis]

It seems a fairly typical three-conga Bembe with the song leader apparently running through several chants to different Orishas including Eleggua, Ochosi, Orishas in general.

[@degnis25]

excelente xD
