[@michaelarndt1961]

The year 1972 ps 35 in new york 5 congas 2 bongos 200 hundred people told by the cops to take a walk ten minutes later more people the music. Guanguanco what a rush God bless you brothers

[@gcfifthgear]

You guys are rockin' them both--I dig it when congas and bongos are playin' off each other...

Alguien más disfruta esto, tan solo escucharlo 😌

North Philly in the house man.

[@Word_Wise_Woman]

ESSSSOOOO!!!! Being a Philly native I am loving this! So many beautiful cultures, colors, and sounds can be found in the good ol 215. Miss this city’s passion so much, residing in Southern California now (Not LA) and it’s hard to find these rhythms out here. Mucho amor y respecto a mi hermanos de Philly!💯✊🏾❤️✨😎

[@juliantorrenegrapeluffo7415]

[@federicobarrios3879]

Excelente. Tremenda banda. Genealidad, ejecución perfecta. Saludos desde Panamá.

[@dominicvalentine9750]

Nice original old school sound it reminds me of my up bringings in the lowa east side of Manhattan Thomson Square park when they used to come out and play wonder if they still do that anymore

[@donadolfo6498]

Dominic, log on to kzbin.info . I used to jam on Tompkins Square Park. Look at my videos see if know me. I have Big band and a conjunto. Im the timbalero , band leader and lead vocalist.

[@robertleeshinkle8446]

I love dissonance and tension in music, and so the drums being out of tune of each other just make this that much more amazing.

[@FrequenSeeker]

that guy's smile is contagious!!!!!! excellent music my friends!!!

[@michaelpluznick]

Fantastic old school styles! Absolutely love it!

[@Berkcam]

Yep, me too... dag-n-dag-n-dag, pap-pap

I wish they had people like this still playing back in PR. When I went in the fall of 2017 it didn’t even feel like PR anymore.

I am so digging those congas, I’m not a big fan of synthetic skins but those congas allow the skins to give a nice whole sound, kind of almost sound like buffalo skins...

[@willymiranda5537]

Old school sound / heard that growing up in S F. CA would go to the beach on the warm days & there would be countless dudes on congas / bongos / & all sorts of percussion instruments with with some good old red mountain wine in the big jugs for motivation / I’m talking about late 60’s / early 70’s. I was in my teens with my older relatives looking for a good time & an occasional FIGHT!!! Haha 😆 lol

[@rockndisco3874]

[@chrispantazi81]

Nice! Also good to see some fellow toca enthusiasts. Best drums for the money, especially if you know how to tune and maintain them. Speaking of which, The bongo sound AMAZING!!! (Congas too, as I have the same drums and heads) just the bongo really cuts! what series bongo are those and what is material used for the head up top? Finally, are you tuning to specific pitches and intervals? Great video guys, thanks so much for sharing!

[@mercedeslilianagarcialopez4432]

to be able to play bongos and congas like this, someone needs to have agility in their hands and practice for months

[@40elverdugo]

super buen video, opino que el campaneo hubiese sido diferente para el solo de la conga gracias caballos.
