That is the sound of my beautiful Island of heritage. 🇨🇺🪘

[@snowman72891]

Beautiful. I had no idea drumming could be so beautiful and complex.

[@efanshel]

What beautiful sound quality......

[@mejsjalv]

Cuban percussionists are next level stuff.

[@pangeaproxima9446]

Amazing polyrythms!

[@mannyruiz1954]

Not really into the religious aspect but I love African percussion and Afro-Cuban, folklorico. I saw Los Papines once, and Mongo Santamaria many times.

My favorite! I loved learning and playing with The Cultural Movement several years ago. I was fortunate. Now I know a healing art. Thanks.

[@richardweil8813]

Wonderful. Heard a street performance of drumming in Havana near the Afro-Cuban center. As you can hear, the talent of these artists is amazing.

Is there a reason they start off so slow? This is amazing. My brother in law does this in the religion. Very powerful and deep roots to these beats

Why are you guys paying the wrong drums

[@havanacreates8370]

They need a role Royce to get the hat?!

[@enriquej.varona3448]

It's possible to have a permission from the Fondazione Giorgio Cini to use this video in a conference? Thanks for your answer.

[@jonesderbyshire8787]

[@jonesderbyshire8787]

Yes it is authentic this is pure bata shut up

[@ziggystardust5669]

Hahaha so you don't know anything about afrocuban culture so be quiet

[@havanacreates8370]

That way to low

[@christopherp.hitchens3902]

Ugh! Unfortunately, they LOOK bored. I'm getting bored too. Sorry. I guess I expected something a little bit more intense.

[@mannyruiz1954]

You need to focus on the syncopation of the drums. It's very technical.

[@christopherp.hitchens3902]

@@mannyruiz1954 - Never underestimate the importance of showmanship. Like a dancer that concentrates so much on what she’s doing, she forgets to smile. Not realizing, that when the performer is having fun, they give the audience permission to have fun too!

[@mannyruiz1954]

@@christopherp.hitchens3902 Fair enough. From my POV, as a musician, I'm just listening to the technical aspect. I like technical, thrash metal too.

[@jonesderbyshire8787]

@@christopherp.hitchens3902 bitch shut up, you can’t play these rhythm without having focus and meditation which is how the sound comes by focus. That’s why white peoples can’t play like this. You don’t focus and don’t have rhythm

[@christopherp.hitchens3902]

@@jonesderbyshire8787 - I am in Cuba at this very moment. I have seen/heard these men move mountains. This is boring. I would tell them if they were here that I have heard better.
